Since the release of the ETOPO1 global Earth topography model through the US NOAA in
2009, new or significantly improved topographic data sets have become available over …

An empirical algorithm to retrieve integral ocean wave parameters such as significant wave
height (SWH), mean wave period, and wave height of waves with period larger than 12 s …

The study of the changes in swell properties in the nearshore domain due to interaction with
the sea-bottom to infer the bathymetry has deserved some attention in the last few years …

Abstract The German Bight of the North Sea is the area with highly variable sea state
conditions, intensive ship traffic and with a high density of offshore installations, eg wind …

An increasing number of instances in extreme weather events over the global oceans have
deepened the concerns on the impact of climate change. The frequency of extreme weather …

TerraSAR-X (TS-X) is a new, fully polarized X-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite,
which is a successor of the Spaceborne Imaging Radar X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar …

We develop a novel remote sensing technique for the observation of waves on the ocean
surface. Our method infers the 3-D waveform and radiance of oceanic sea states via a …

The polar format algorithm (PFA) is a wavenumber domain imaging method for spotlight
synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The classic fixed-parameter PFA employs interpolation …

Remote sensing instruments, especially synthetic aperture radar (SAR), have become
valuable tools for monitoring coastal bathymetry in both space and time. In this study, we …

A pilot experiment was conducted in the period from April to June 2008 in the Straits of
Florida near Port Everglades, Florida, in order to study the dynamics of far wakes of ships. In …
