Satellite SAR Exploitation and Imaging and Measurement of Oceanic Phenomena
Abstract
This proposal consists of six individual self-contained projects. A common component of all tasks is the exploitation of satellite imagery. The six projects are listed as the following tasks: Task 1 -- Air-Sea Interactions in Typhoon Conditions; Task 2 -- Satellite Observations of Surface Signatures and Properties of Internal Waves in Straits; Task 3 -- Satellite Observations, Surface Signatures, and Properties of Nonlinear Internal Waves; Task 4 -- Satellite Observations of Surface Signatures in the Philippine Sea; Task 5 -- Satellite Observations of Oceanographic Processes for Quantifying, Predicting, and Exploiting Uncertainty (QPE); and Task 6 -- Exploitation of Commercial Satellite Radars. The long-term goal of this project is to employ satellite SAR imagery to the quantitative analysis of typhoons, internal waves, ocean surface features, sea state prediction, and coastal dynamics. To achieve this, a variety of satellite SAR sensors with different imaging frequencies, multi-polarizations, and different beam modes are used to determine which combination of the above capabilities could provide the best solution.
