Hurricane Wave Topography and Directional Wave Spectra in Near Real-Time

Abstract

The long-term goal is to develop a simple parameterization for the directional wave spectrum in the vicinity of a hurricane. Objectives are to develop and/or modify the real-time operating system and analysis techniques and programs of the NASA Scanning Radar Altimeter (SRA) to process the SRA wave topography data into directional wave spectra during hurricane flights. Upload the spectra and the topography onto a web site immediately post-flight to make them available to ONR investigators.
