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...

Dissertation
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...

Masters Thesis
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...

On the Imaging of Rip Currents in X-band Radar

Creator:

Kloster, Rebecca

Abstract:

Rip currents pose a serious danger to visitors of bathing beaches; they are also an important process in surf zone circulation. Haller et al. [2014] demonstrated that shore-based X-band radar can be used to compliment in situ measurements of rip currents. However, little is known of the underlying radar imaging...

Masters Thesis
Applications of Marine Radar Wave Observation Systems

Creator:

Meskill, Shay J.

Abstract:

This project utilized both shore-based and shipboard commercial marine radar technology to collect wave statistics. In the first application a shore-based system was installed at Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon in order to collect real-time wave information. This information was collected under the auspices of the Northwest Association of Networked...

Capstone Project
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...

Dissertation
On the nearshore impact of wave energy converter arrays

Creator:

O'Dea, Annika Magnuson

Abstract:

Radiation stresses, defined as the excess flow of momentum due to the presence of waves (Longuet-Higgins, 1964), are the main drivers behind the cross-shore and longshore forcing that results in wave setup, set-down, and longshore currents (e.g. Svendsen, 2006). Longshore currents entrain and transport sediment and therefore play an important...

Analysis of waves in the near-field of wave energy converter arrays through image processing

Creator:

Black, Colleen

Abstract:

Oregon State University conducted a series of laboratory experiments to measure and quantify the near-field wave effects caused within arrays of Wave Energy Converters (WEC). As the waves and WECs interact, the WECs generate radiated waves; these effects vary with the location within the array. Analyzing the near-field waves will...

Masters Thesis
Laboratory observations and numerical modeling of the effects of an array of wave energy converters

Creator:

Porter, Aaron K.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the effects of wave energy converters (WECs) on water waves through the analysis of extensive laboratory experiments, as well as subsequent numerical simulations. Data for the analysis was collected during the WEC-Array Experiments performed at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory at Oregon State University, under co-operation...

Masters Thesis
An investigation on the modeling of wave field transformation and shoreline morphology near steep bathymetric features

Creator:

Michalsen, David R.

Abstract:

Steep bathymetric anomalies in the beach profile, such as offshore borrow pits, submerged breakwaters, and nearshore canyons can significantly transform the wave climate through the effects of refraction, diffraction, and reflection. When located in the nearshore region the modified wave climate can also substantially change the location of breaking and...
