Coastal zones have large social, economic and environmental values. They are more
densely populated than the hinterland and concentrate large economic assets, critical …

Sea state information is needed for many applications, ranging from safety at sea and on the
coast, for which real time data are essential, to planning and design needs for infrastructure …

Surface gravity waves generated by winds are ubiquitous on our oceans and play a
primordial role in the dynamics of the ocean–land–atmosphere interfaces. In particular, wind …

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a powerful tool for monitoring sea states in terms of the
significant wave height (SWH). Regarding the specific wave mode, to date, the previous …

This paper provides an overview of the surface waves investigation and monitoring (SWIM)
instrument which will be one of the two payload instruments carried by China France …

In-situ ocean wave observations are critical to improve model skill and validate remote
sensing wave measurements. Historically, such observations are extremely sparse due to …

Wind‐generated waves strongly interact with sea ice and impact air‐sea exchanges,
operations at sea, and marine life. Unfortunately, the dissipation of wave energy is not well …

Global wave hindcasts are developed using the third generation spectral wave model
WAVEWATCH III with the observation‐based source terms (ST6) and a hybrid rectilinear …

Abstract Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has emerged as a pivotal technology in
geosciences, offering unparalleled insights into Earth's surface. Indeed, its ability to provide …

Ocean surface winds, currents, and waves play a crucial role in exchanges of momentum,
energy, heat, freshwater, gases, and other tracers between the ocean, atmosphere, and ice …
