Radar Remote Sensing of Waves and Episodic Flow Events
Abstract
In order to contribute to the overall Inner Shelf DRI work shall be done if the following: 1. Collect observations of wave and current events using our mobile marine radar station for the duration of the field experiment. 2. Extract wave properties in the shoaling zone, such as wave directional distributions and the frequency and location of wave breaking over scales of several kilometers. Quantify the importance of wave forcing to the dynamical balances. 3. Analyze the remote sensing data to identify specific episodic flow events, such as rip currents and internal waves. Quantify their frequency of occurrence and their relationship to the insitu ocean properties.
