The spectral upwelling radiance distribution in optically shallow waters [PDF]
The upwelling radiance distribution in optically shallow water is investigated with experiments and Hydrolight numerical simulations for two different benthic surfaces and a range of solar zenith angles (≪60°). Over a bright sand surface (water depth 5 m) the upwelling radiance distribution was brightest at nadir and decreased toward the horizon.

With the exception of a few areas, Lake Michigan (LM) is an oligotrophic clear water body. It is predominantly in its littoral zone where ecology-relevant processes unfold due to a variety of natural and anthropogenic forcings arising from the watershed.

A NEW TECHNIQUE BASED ON MINI-UAS FOR ESTIMATING WATER AND BOTTOM RADIANCE CONTRIBUTIONS IN OPTICALLY SHALLOW WATERS [PDF]
The mapping of nearshore bathymetry based on spaceborne radiometers is commonly used for QC ocean colour products in littoral waters. However, the accuracy of these estimates is relatively poor with respect to those derived from Lidar systems due in part

Satellite-Derived Bottom Depth for Optically Shallow Waters Based on Hydrolight Simulations
The bottom depth of coastal benthic habitats plays a vital role in the coastal ecological environment and navigation. In optically shallow waters (OSWs), seafloor reflectance has an impact on the remotely sensed data, and thus, water depth can be ...

Shallow water rogue wavetrains in nonlinear optical fibers [PDF]
In addition to deep-water rogue waves which develop from the modulation instability of an optical CW, wave propagation in optical fibers may also produce shallow water rogue waves. These extreme wave events are generated in the modulationally stable normal dispersion regime. A suitable phase or frequency modulation of a CW laser leads to chirp-free and

Neuromorphic Optical Tracking and Imaging of Randomly Moving Targets Through Dynamic Dense Scattering Media. [PDF]
Vision begins not with images but with change: the retina fires only when something moves, handing the brain a stream of spikes. A neuromorphic imaging system adopts the same strategy—an event sensor that sees like the retina, a spiking network that thinks like the brain—to track and reconstruct fully randomly moving targets through tissue (phantom ...

Modified method of characteristics for the shallow water equations [PDF]
Flow in open channels is frequently modelled using the shallow water equations (SWEs) with an up-winded scheme often used for the nonlinear terms in the numerical scheme (Delis et al., 2000; Erduran et al., 2002). This paper presents a mathematical model

A Method to Analyze the Potential of Optical Remote Sensing for Benthic Habitat Mapping
Quantifying the number and type of benthic classes that are able to be spectrally identified in shallow water remote sensing is important in understanding its potential for habitat mapping.

How can Sentinel‐2 contribute to seagrass mapping in shallow, turbid Baltic Sea waters?
Seagrass meadows are one of the most important benthic habitats in the Baltic Sea. Nevertheless, spatially continuous mapping data of Zostera marina, the predominant seagrass species in the Baltic Sea, are lacking in the shallow coastal waters.
