Ground Truth Measurements for the Littoral Remote Sensing Program
Abstract
LONG-TERM GOAL. The goal of this effort is to provide ground truth coastal oceanographic and meteorologic field measurements in support of ONR's Littoral Remote Sensing Program. The observations were collected by the Field Research Facility (FRF) (Figure 1) of the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station located in Duck, NC. The measurements culminated in 1997 with coverage during the Sandy Duck Nearshore Field Experiment, a comprehensive study of the nearshore environment cosponsored by the Coastal Dynamics Program of ONR, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Geological Survey. SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES. The objectives were to provide continuous measurements from April 1996 to October 1997 of scientifically useful parameters that characterize the nearshore zone. Continuous measurements were required to insure that measurements coincided with remote sensing opportunities.
