Microwave scattering from surf zone waves

Creator:: Catalán Mondaca, Patricio A.
Abstract:: Wave breaking in the surf zone is an important forcing mechanism on the generation of nearshore currents and in the driving of sediment transport. At the same time, wave breaking can have significant spatial and temporal variability that needs to be accounted for in the description of nearshore processes. Remote...

Remote sensing of radiation stress gradients from optical imagery

Creator:: Killian, Jason R.
Abstract:: Wave-induced circulation is the defining characteristic of the nearshore. Within this region, the constant feedback cycle between incoming waves, wave-generated currents, and the mobile sediment bed is responsible for the evolution of complex patterns in nearshore and beach morphology. Central to our understanding of this system is knowledge of the...

Hybrid approach to estimating nearshore bathymetry using remote sensing

Creator:: Catalán Mondaca, Patricio A.
Abstract:: The characterization of bathymetry and its time evolution is very important for both oceanographic science applications, and for societal reasons relating to coastal engineering and development. Historically, the process of depth surveying has been costly and labor-intensive. This is especially true in nearshore regions, hence a method that is both...

Remote measurements of waves and currents over complex bathymetry

Creator:: Chickadel, Carmine C. (Carmine Christopher)
Abstract:: Waves are the primary input of energy in the nearshore region, and together with the currents forced through the transfer of momentum that occurs during the wave breaking process they are the principal mechanism for sediment transport in the nearshore. The basic physics of waves and currents are thought to...

Biases in droplet radii and optical depths of marine stratocumulus retrieved from MODIS imagery

Creator:: Boeke, Robyn C.
Abstract:: The 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment established that the effect of clouds on climate contributes the largest uncertainty in predicting the future climate. Satellite observations provide an opportunity for learning about the behavior of clouds. This thesis seeks to assess the accuracy of cloud properties retrieved from multispectral...

Properties of marine stratus and stratocumulus derived using collocated MODIS and CALIPSO observations

Creator:: Hayes, Christopher R.
Abstract:: Adiabatic parcel models suggest specific relationships between cloud thickness and cloud properties. Such relationships govern cloud radiative forcing and thus cloud feedbacks in the climate system. Current remote sensing techniques work well at measuring these properties in low-level cloud systems that are overcast. Significant biases exist, however, when measuring cloud...

Detection of Burials at the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians Historic Period Cemetery, Oregon: A Comparison of Ground-Based Remote Sensing Methods

Creator:: Rogers, Michael
Abstract:: This project hypothesizes that the use of multiple ground-based remote sensing methods can collectively characterize the geophysical signatures of four marked human burials at the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians historic period cemetery. If the geophysical signatures of the marked burials can be characterized, these signatures may be used to...

Development of 2D models to estimate nearshore bathymetry and sediment transport

Creator:: Splinter, Kristen D.
Abstract:: We examine the interactions and feedbacks between bathymetry, waves, currents, and sediment transport. The ﬁrst two pro jects focus on the use of remote sensing techniques to expand our knowledge of the nearshore. Due to the plethora of snap-shot data that is available from satellites and their distribution via Google...

A comparison of seafloor sonar classification methods through the use of error matrices and 3 dimensional GIS visualization : a multibeam sonar investigation of Nehalem Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Lanier, Andrew S.
Abstract:: Multibeam sonar data was collected on Nehalem Bank, off of the Oregon Coast with the purpose of increasing the spatial resolution of our knowledge of the area and delineating seafloor habitats. The system used was the Kongsberg Simrad EM-300 operating at 30 kHz. The data set collected includes both topographic...

A satellite-derived climatology of global ocean winds

Creator:: Risien, Craig Miller
Abstract:: A satellite-derived Climatology of Global Ocean Winds (COGOW) on a 0.5° latitude by 0.5° latitude grid is presented based on 5-years (August 1999 July 2004) of measurements from the SeaWinds scatterometer that was launched on 19 June 1999 onboard the QuikSCAT satellite. SeaWinds is an active microwave radar that estimates...
