SAR Remote Sensing of Nonlinear Internal Waves in the South China Sea

Abstract

The long-term goal is to understand the environmental effects (e.g. bottom topography, shoaling, mixing, and current/shear) on nonlinear internal wave generation, evolution, and dissipation in the South China Sea by using satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, in-situ data, and numerical models.
