  • Depth estimation and frontal imaging via X-band marine radar

    Creator:
    Honegger, David Andrew
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on two core aspects of remote sensing: (a) interpretation of the remotely sensed data to identify and characterize sea surface features of interest, and (b) the quantitative analysis of previously characterized features to produce robust estimates of geophysical variables. Specifically, these aspects are addressed in the context...

  • 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...

  • 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...
