Dynamic Analysis of Ocean Internal Waves Using Space Shuttle Data

Abstract

Long-term goals of the project are to develop suitable techniques for extracting quantitative data and information on ocean internal waves from space shuttle photographs and SIR-C images, to determine statistical features of the wave packet structures, and to analyze the generation, propagation, and collision of the waves, as well as the effects of boundary conditions.
