Vortical Sea-Surface Features Generated by a Submerged Body in a Current Field

Abstract

The long-term goal is to contribute to our understanding of sea-surface roughness as influenced by various air-sea interacting processes. In particular, we are interested in identifying the sea-surface features generated by submerged bodies under various environmental conditions. Scientific objectives are aimed to quantify the modification of sea-surface roughness by a submerged body under various wind and current conditions, and to establish a proper algorithm to identify associated vortical surface features. It is anticipated that the results will be beneficial to shallow water mine detection with remote sensors.
