The ocean component and coastal impacts of Storm Gloria, which hit the western
Mediterranean between 20 and 23 January 2020, are investigated with a numerical …

In the long term development of the research on wind waves and their modelling, in
particular of the inner and coastal seas, the present situation is framed with a short look at …

This paper provides a review of the development of profiling oceanographic lidars. These
can provide quantitative profiles of the optical properties of the water column to depths of 20 …

Depth-resolved information is essential for ocean research. For this study, we developed a
shipborne photon-counting lidar for depth-resolved oceanic plankton observation. A pulsed …

The “flux, etat de la mer, et télédétection en conditions de fetch variable”(FETCH) was aimed
at studying the physical processes associated with air–sea exchanges and mesoscale …

The importance of coasts and the need for improving knowledge of their environment
through the observation and modelling of processes is evident from human activities and …

The NW Mediterranean experiences, as illustrated by the last decade, strong and rapidly
varying storms with severe waves and winds. This has motivated a continuous validation of …

Backscatter lidar observations such as those provided by the CALIPSO mission are
expected to give complementary information to long‐used radiometric observations for …

The continuous research and improvement of ocean modelling helps to provide a more
sustainable development of coastal and offshore regions. This paper focuses on ocean …

The lidar equation for ocean at optical wavelengths including subsurface signals is revisited
using the recent work of the radiative transfer and ocean color community for passive …
