X-band Observations of Waves, Algorithm Development, and Validation High Resolution Wave-Air-Sea Interaction DRI
نویسنده
چکیده
The potential to generate deterministic descriptions of the ocean’s surface at elevated sea states using both modern observational techniques and computationally intensive, nonlinear wave models now exists. Investments in research to successfully validate and improve these techniques and models will improve the planning and execution of at-sea naval operations and further our understanding of air-sea interaction processes.

Wind Retrieval using Marine Radars
Within the High Resolution Air-Sea Interaction (HiRes) DRI the Center for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), former NATO Undersea Research Center, will develop and validate methodologies to retrieve wind field parameters from X-band marine radars. The main parameters are the mean surface wind vector; the high-resolution wind field, as well as wind gusts in vicinity of the measurement...
متن کاملValidation of Coastal Wind and Wave Fields by High Resolution Satellite Data
methods to derive wind speed and the sea state from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite data are presented and applied for use in high resolution numerical modeling for coastal application. The new radar satellite TerraSAR-X (TS-X) images the sea surface with a high resolution up to 1m. So not only the wind field and integrated sea state parameters but also individual ocean waves with wave...
متن کامل13: Wave-ice interaction in the Marginal Ice Zone: toward a wave-ocean-ice coupled modeling system
Our main objective is to improve an operational model for wind-generated surface gravity waves (WAVEWATCH III ®) such that it can accurately predict the attenuation and scattering of waves by interaction with ice in the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ). The wave model physics developed here will later be part of an operational coupled model system, allowing feedback to ice, ocean, and atmospheric models...
متن کاملHydrodynamic Modelling of Coral Reefs:Ningaloo Reef-Western Australia
As with all coral reef systems, the ecology of Ningaloo Reef is closely linked to water circulation which transport and disperse key material such as nutrients and larvae. Circulation on coral reefs may be driven by a number of forcing mechanisms including waves, tides, wind, and buoyancy effects. Surface waves interacting with reefs have long been known to dominate the currents on many coral r...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Current & Bathymetry Determined by Nautical X-Band Radar in Shallow Waters
The wave and current monitoring system WaMoS II is a remote sensing system based on a nautical X-Band radar generally used for navigation and ship traffic control. It has been used in recent years to monitor sea state information from moored platforms, coastal sites and moving vessels. A nautical radar can scan the sea surface over a large area (~ 10km ) with a high spatial (~7.5m) and temporal...
