  • Radar and Optical Remote Sensing of Submesoscale Frontal Features

    Creator:
    Simpson, Alexandra J.
    Abstract:
    The coastal region is home to many types of surface fronts that exist on a submesoscale (1-10 $km$). While in situ observations capture point or transect observations of frontal behavior subsurface, their complex spatial patterns can be well-captured using remote sensing techniques, which provide synoptic views of the ocean surface...

  • Estimating the in situ Stratification via Remotely-sensed Internal Wave Speeds

    Creator:
    Fang, Chufan
    Abstract:
    This work investigates a methodology for estimating the ocean stratification gradient based on high-resolution, in space and time, remote sensing observations of internal wave propagation speeds. The internal wave speed observations were collected using a shore-based, X-band marine radar and the ocean vertical density profiles were collected simultaneously from an...

  • Remote Sensing of Nearshore Hydrodynamic and Morphodynamic Processes

    Creator:
    O'Dea, Annika M.
    Abstract:
    The use of remote sensing techniques in coastal science and engineering has rapidly increased in the past few decades. This dissertation outlines new remote sensing tools using two remote sensing technologies (lidar and X-band marine radar) along with two nearshore hydrodynamic and morphodynamic analyses supported or motivated by these remote...
