Measurement of Local Scale Wave Transformation Effects at NCEX Using AROSS Imagery
Abstract
This work seeks an improved understanding of shoaling-wave phenomenology, particularly in areas of complex bathymetry, through the use of novel, large-area, high-resolution, remote-sensing approaches. This effort studies the transformation of deep-water waves to the surf-zone as they shoal over a large spatial domain with complex bathymetry. The investigation compares wave model output parameters, such as significant wave height as well as directional spectra, with the values obtained from an airborne, electro-optical, remote sensor. In addition, the airborne data will be used to evaluate and tune algorithms for retrieving water depths, currents and surf parameters. The retrieved parameter fields will be compared with results from video imagery obtained from the cliffs overlooking the experiment site.
