Spatial Coherence of Nonlinear, Nonstationary, Non-Gaussian Ocean Waves on a One-Mile Scale from Scanning Altimeter Radar

Abstract

The wave conditions in severe large storm waves are often critical to the survival design of marine structures. This project is directed toward the careful analysis of airplane-based scanning radar altimeter (SRA) data from NASA flights into hurricanes to extract the detailed geometry of large storm waves.
