Abstract: A new method to measure ocean wave slope spectra using fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (POLSAR) data was developed without the need for a complex hydrodynamic modulation transform function. There is no explicit ...

Abstract: AbstractStudies suggested that neutral-stability wind speed at 10 m U10 ≥ 9 m s ?1 and wave steepness Hs/Lp ≥ 0.020 can be taken as criteria for aerodynamically rough ocean surface and the onset of a wind sea, respectively; ...

Abstract: A variational data assimilation method is applied to remotely sensed wind data from Hurricanes Gustav (2002) and Isabel (2003) to produce enhanced marine wind estimates. The variational method utilizes constraints to ensure ...

Abstract: A grading curve is an important measure for illustrating the grain size distribution of granular materials. In general, there exists a statistical fractal relationship between the cumulative number of particles and the ...

Abstract: Position and orientation characteristic (POC) equations for topological structure synthesis of serial and parallel mechanisms were proposed in a published paper by the authors. This paper will further prove the correctness ...
