Remote Sensing, 2017 The Arctic sea ice cover has decreased strongly in extent, thickness, volume and age in recent decades. The melt season presents a significant challenge for sea ice forecasting due to uncertainty associated with the role of surface melt ponds in ice ...

Detection of the 2010 Chilean tsunami using satellite altimetry [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2011 Tsunamis are difficult to detect and measure in the open ocean because the wave amplitude is much smaller than it is closer to shore. An effective early warning system, however, must be able to observe an impending tsunami threat far away from the shore ...

The role of atmospheric boundary layer-surface interactions on the development of coastal fronts [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2007 Frictional convergence and thermal difference between land and sea surface are the two surface conditions that govern the intensity and evolution of a coastal front.

A fibre optic sensor for the measurement of surface roughness and displacement using artificial neural networks [PDF]
, 1997 This paper presents a fiber optic sensor system, artificial neural networks (fast back-propagation) are employed for the data processing. The use of the neural networks makes it possible for the sensor to be used both for surface roughness and ...

Determining Variability in Arctic Sea Ice Pressure Ridge Topography With ICESat‐2
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 We investigate the characteristics and distribution of pressure ridges in Arctic sea ice using a novel algorithm applied to ICESat‐2 surface heights. We derive the frequency and height of individual pressure ridges and map surface roughness and ridging ...

How to select the most relevant 3D roughness parameters of a surface [PDF]
, 2014 In order to conduct a comprehensive roughness analysis, around sixty 3D roughness parameters are created to describe most of the surface morphology with regard to specific functions, properties or applications.

A Novel Sea Surface Roughness Parameterization Based on Wave State and Sea Foam
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 A wave state related sea surface roughness parameterization scheme that takes into account the impact of sea foam is proposed in this study. Using eight observational datasets, the performances of two most widely used wave state related parameterizations

Influence of Wave State and Sea Spray on the Roughness Length: Feedback on Medicanes
Atmosphere, 2018 Occasionally, storms that share many features with tropical cyclones, including the presence of a quasi-circular “eye” a warm core and strong winds, are observed in the Mediterranean.
