Analysis and Modeling of Radar Surface Signatures of Non-Linear Internal Waves
Abstract
The scientific objectives of this research are 1) to understand the transition from the linear perturbations of surface waves by internal waves studied in the past to the non-linear perturbations embodied by wave breaking, 2) to determine the conditions that make microwave surface signatures of internal waves visible, and 3) to understand better the generation, propagation, and dissipation of internal waves on the ocean
