Measurements and Model Studies of Wave-current Interaction in the Vicinity of Mesoscale Surface Features

Abstract

The long-term goal is to examine the link between the surface wave field, atmospheric forcing and mesoscale oceanographic features and the subsequent radar backscatter modulation caused by the presence of these features.
