X-band Observations of Waves, Algorithm Development, and Validation High Resolution Wave-Air-Sea Interaction DRI

Abstract

Our goal is to better understand physics of the air-sea interface including ocean wave generation, wave propagation, and air-sea fluxes. The potential to generate deterministic descriptions of the ocean's surface at elevated sea states using both modern observational techniques and computationally intensive, nonlinear wave models now exists. Investments in research to successfully validate and improve these techniques and models will improve the planning and execution of at-sea naval operations and further our understanding of air-sea interaction processes.
