Vortical Sea-surface Features Generated by a Submerged Body in a Current Field

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS. The long-term goal is to contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of air-sea interacting processes in the presence of a submerged body. In particular, we are interested in characterizing the sea-surface features affected by the eddies shed behind a submerged body in a current field. OBJECTIVES. Scientific objectives are aimed to quantify the modifications of sea-surface roughness by a submerged body in a current field, and to find a proper algorithm to identify associated vortical surface features. It is anticipated that the results will be beneficial for shallow water mine detection with remote sensors.
