The Feasibility of Estimating Ocean Surface Currents on an Operational Basis Using Satellite Feature Tracking Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The feasibility of using a relatively new technique, often referred to as satellite feature tracking, for estimating ocean surface currents is described. Sequential satellite imagery is used to determine the displacements ...
The Probability Density Function of Ocean Surface Slopes and Its Effects on Radar Backscatter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on Longuet-Higgins?s theory of the probability distribution of wave amplitude and wave period and on some observations, a new probability density function (PDF) of ocean surface slopes is derived. It is where ?x and ...
