Abstract: hallow-angle lidar offers an attractive approach to acquiring spatial profiles of sea waves, which are of value in both oceanographic research and practical engineering applications, such as in the control of wave energy ...

Abstract: or a number of maritime tasks there is a short time period, typically only a few tens of seconds, where a critical event occurs that defines a limiting wave height for the whole operation. Examples are the recovery of fixed ...

Abstract: A lidar scanning system is described that is primarily designed to measure sea wave shape. The device is capable of measuring real-time spatial profiles over distances of hundreds of meters, and as the lidar must inevitably ...

Abstract: AbstractA number of maritime operations can benefit from a short-term deterministic sea wave prediction (DSWP). Conventional X-band radars have recently been shown to provide a low-cost convenient source of two-dimensional ...
