Influence of Six-Degree-of-Freedom Motion of a Large Marine Data Buoy on Wind Speed Monitoring Accuracy

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
In order to quantitatively analyze the data measurement accuracy of ocean buoys under normal and extreme sea conditions, in this study, we simulated the six-degree-of-freedom motion response of self-designed ocean buoys under different sea conditions ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Effect of High-Frequency Sea Waves on Wave Period Retrieval from Radar Altimeter and Buoy Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2016
Wave periods estimated from satellite altimetry data behave differently from those calculated from buoy data, especially in low-wind conditions. In this paper, the geometric mean wave period T a is calculated from buoy data, rather than the ...

Snow height on sea ice, meteorological conditions and drift of sea ice from autonomous measurements from buoy 2019S88, deployed during AFIN 2019

open access: yes, 2021
Snow height was measured by the Snow Buoy 2019S88, an autonomous platform, installed on drifting sea ice in the Antarctic Ocean AFIN 2019. The resulting time series describes the evolution of snow height as a function of place and time between 29 August ...

Algorithm for sea surface wind retrieval from TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A Geophysical Model Function (GMF), denoted XMOD2, is developed to retrieve sea surface wind field from Xband TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X (TS-X/TD-X) data. In contrast to the previously developed XMOD1, XMOD2 consists of a nonlinear GMF, and thus, it depicts ...

TESCLA: A Fully Soft Electromagnetic Linear Actuator With Continuous Bending Enabled by Liquid‐Metal Solenoids

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
TESCLA (tubular electromagnetic soft conformal linear actuator) combines liquid‐metal solenoids and compliant magnetic composites to achieve large‐stroke bidirectional actuation with continuous bending. Integrated inductance‐based self‐sensing enables proprioceptive position estimation without external sensors, providing a versatile platform for soft ...
