Simultaneous Acoustic/Microwave Studies of Bound and Breaking Waves in a Wave Tank

Abstract

The long-range objective of this project is to understand both acoustic and microwave scattering from rough water surfaces sufficiently well to be able to implement them in operational models and, if possible, to remotely sense microscale breaking on the sea surface.
