Improving Satellite-derived Bathymetry

, 2016
Bathymetry is traditionally acquired using singlebeam or multibeam echosounders. This method produces accurate depth measurements along transects but is constrained by operating cost and an inability to survey in very shallow waters. Airborne Lidar is able to produce accurate bathymetric information over clear waters at depths up to 70m, but can be ...

Impact of Wind Forcing Resolution on Modeled Wave Extremes at the Coastal Boundary

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Accurate wind forcing is essential for modeling extreme wave conditions. This study evaluates how wind resolution influences the representation of maximum wind speeds and the simulation of maximum significant wave heights across two cyclone environments: extratropical cyclones in Australia and tropical cyclones in the Philippines.

Uncovering Ocean Mixed Layer Dynamics From the Sea Surface State

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract Submesoscale dynamics strongly influence the upper ocean, regulating mixing, air–sea exchange, and vertical heat transport. The recent Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission provides unprecedented high‐resolution observations of sea surface height (SSH), yet linking these surface measurements to subsurface ocean dynamics remains ...

First Assessment of ICESat‐2 Summer Sea Ice Freeboard With Airborne Validation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 15, 16 August 2026.
Abstract ICESat‐2 has demonstrated solid performance in retrieving sea ice freeboard during winter, when sea ice surface types are well‐defined and leads provide reliable sea surface height references. Summer retrievals are challenging because melt ponds are not explicitly distinguished in the ATL07 surface classification and may be identified as ice ...

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 5, Page 3292-3311, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.

Seasonal Re‐Entrainment of Respired Organic Matter Decouples Southern Ocean Surface Production and Annual Net Community Production

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 5, August 2026.
Abstract The long‐term storage of carbon by the biological carbon pump depends on the amount of organic carbon produced in sunlit waters, the depth at which that organic carbon is respired, and the time until the respired carbon is again in contact with the atmosphere. In the Southern Ocean, estimates of organic carbon export, net community production (

Using Machine Learning to Predict Phytoplankton Blooms in the Salish Sea

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Strong phytoplankton blooms occur every spring in the Salish Sea, but vary significantly, spatially and temporally. Natural variability and climate change make the prediction of the bloom challenging, as they affect both atmospheric drivers and nutrient interactions that contribute to the growth of phytoplankton. Understanding these drivers is

Physics-Based Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) Using Landsat OLI Images

Remote Sensing
The estimation of depth in optically shallow waters using satellite imagery can be efficient and cost-effective. Active sensors measure the distance traveled by an emitted laser pulse propagating through the water with high precision and accuracy if the ...
