Creator:: Plant, Nathaniel G., Holland, K. Todd, and Haller, Merrick C.
Abstract:: We review several approaches that have been used to estimate ocean surface gravity wavenumbers from wave-resolving remotely sensed image sequences. Two fundamentally different approaches that utilize these data exist. A power spectral density approach identifies wavenumbers where image intensity variance is maximized. Alternatively, a cross-spectral correlation approach identifies wavenumbers where...

Creator:: Díaz Méndez, Guillermo M., Haller, Merrick C., Raubenheimer, Britt, Elgar, Steve, and Honegger, David A.
Abstract:: The time and space variability of wave transformation through a tidal inlet is investigated with radar remote sensing. The frequency of wave breaking and the net wave breaking dissipation at high spatial resolution is estimated using image sequences acquired with a land-based X-band marine radar. Using the radar intensity data,...

Creator:: Catalán, Patricio A., Haller, Merrick C., and Plant, William J.
Abstract:: The microwave backscatter properties of surf zone waves are analyzed using field observations. By utilizing a preexisting, independent, water surface discrimination technique, the microwave returns were extracted along individual waveforms and the data from shoaling (steepening) waves, surf zone breaking waves, and remnant foam were separated and quantified. In addition,...

Creator:: Catalán, Patricio A., Haller, Merrick C., Holman, Robert A., and Plant, William J.
Abstract:: Synchronous and colocated optical and microwave signals from waves in the surf zone are presented and analyzed. The field data were collected using a high-resolution video system and a calibrated horizontally polarized marine radar during the decaying phase of a storm. The resulting changes in the received signals from varying...
