Fine-scale features on the sea surface in SAR satellite imagery – Part 1: Simultaneous in-situ measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
around 30–50m. These features are often associated with three-dimensional upper ocean dynamics. We have conducted a number of studies involving in-situ observations in the Straits of Florida during SAR satellite overpass. The data include examples of sharp frontal interfaces, wakes of surface ships, internal wave signatures, as well as slicks of artificial and natural origin. Atmospheric processes, such as squall lines and 10

Fine-scale features on the sea surface in SAR satellite imagery – Part 2: Numerical modeling
With the advent of the new generation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, it has become possible to resolve fine-scale features on the sea surface on the scale of meters. The proper identification of sea surface signatures in SAR imagery can be challenging, since some features may be due to atmospheric distortions (gravity waves, squall lines) or anthropogenic influences (slicks), and...
متن کاملFine Structure of the Upper Ocean from High-resolution Sar Imagery and In-situ Measurements
Satellite-based radar images of the ocean surface reveal fine features of natural and man-made phenomena in the upper ocean [1–3]. Satellite technology continues to advance as it produces better/higher resolution images of the ocean surface. Fine horizontal features on scales less than the typical scale of the upper ocean mixed layer (about 30–50 m) are often associated with three-dimensional p...
متن کاملOn Surface Wind Speed Retrieval from Sar Imagery in West Pacific Ocean
With the development of climate change and global warming, more and more severe tropical storms, hurricanes and typhoons tend to emerge[nature], leading devastating threat and damage to human lives and social productions. Accurate forecasting of storm track and intensity is of vital importance to help evacuation and hence decrease losses. However, the accuracy of storm forecast heavily depends ...
متن کاملSeafloor Topography Modelling in Northern Adriatic Sea Using Synthetic Aperture Radar
Underwater bottom topography may be visible on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images through the radar signature of ocean surface currents. Using SAR images and a limited number of echo soundings it is possible to constructs accurate depth maps, greatly reducing the costs of bathymetric surveying. Based on shallow water bathymetry synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging mechanism and the microwa...
متن کاملA Study to determine the accuracy of satellite measurements for the salinity pattern and surface temperature of Persian Gulf using statistical method
The aim of this paper is to determine the sea surface salinity (SSS) and temperature (SST) of Persian Gulf by using the AMSU-B sensor data of NOAA-16 satellite. A multiple linear regression method was used by statistical computing software R on AMSU-B data and in-situ data. Based on the results, the correlation coefficient (R2) for salinity and temperature was 0.85 and 0.94, respectively. Also,...
