The Nile deep sea fan: preliminary results from a swath bathymetry survey
We present and discuss a set of data, mainly swath bathymetry, backscatter images and a few seismic data, that have been recently recorded over large areas of the Nile deep-sea fan between water depths of 1200 and 3000 m. These data demonstrate the presence of at least three distinct morphostructural provinces where interacting sedimentary, tectonic ...

Simulation of the Wide Swath Sea Surface Height Calibration Using GNSS Buoy Array
IGARSS 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2020The calibration and validation task is very challenging for new-generation wide swath altimeters. There are two error terms sensitive to the across-track distance to the satellite nadir: the roll error which is proportional to the across-track distance, and the baseline length bias which is proportional to the square of the across-track distance.

Swath bathymetric investigation of the seamounts located in the Laxmi Basin, Eastern Arabian Sea
Marine Geodesy, 1994Multibeam (Hydrosweep) swath bathymetric investigations revealed the presence of a NNW trending linear seamount chain along the axial part of the Laxmi Basin in the eastern Arabian Sea, between 15°N, 70°15'E and 17°20'N, 69°E. This chain consists of three major edifices: RAMAN1 and PANIKKAR2 seamounts and WADIA2 guyot.

Directional Wave Spectra from a Swath Ship at Sea
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 1994Abstract During the Surface Wave Dynamics Experiment (SWADE), the swath ship Frederick G. Creed was equipped with an array of wave staffs for the estimation of wave directional spectra. This paper reports on the first such estimates taken from a ship at sea.

Wide Swath Sea Surface Topography Mapping via Ka-band SAR Interferometry
2019 6th Asia-Pacific Conference on Synthetic Aperture Radar (APSAR), 2019Ka-band Interfeometry SAR (InSAR) is a promising technique for global submesoscale sea surface tomography mapping, which still remains blank today. In this paper, we will introduce the arrangement, key techniques and preliminary results of our airborne Ka-band InSAR experiment.

Model functions for retrieving sea surface wind speed with wide-swath imaging altimeter
Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 2021Using satellite remote sensing technology to observe sea surface wind fields has become an important instrument. The successful launch of Tiangong-2, the future Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, and demonstrating GaoFen Project provides the future understanding for the generation of new wide-swath imaging altimeter.

Centimetric sea surface height accuracy using the Wide-Swath Ocean altimeter
IGARSS 2003. 2003 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium. Proceedings (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37477), 2004In this paper, we present error sources and predicted performance of the Wide-Swath Ocean altimeter, an instrument which has been proposed as an experiment for the NASA/CNES Ocean Surface Topography Mission. The data obtained by this instrument will allow the detailed study of ocean mesoscale phenomena, with a space-time resolution which cannot be ...

Sea Trials of the SWATH Ship USNS Victorious (T-AGOS 19)
Marine Technology and SNAME News, 1994In 1986 the design of the Navy's first large SWATH (small waterplane area twin hull) ship was completed. Designated the T-AGOS 19 Class, these vessels were designed to operate comfortably in high latitudes during winter months. The T-AGOS 19 and T-AGOS 23 Classes represent one of the greatest departures in naval surface ship design in the past century.

Ultra Wide Swath Deep Sea Interferometric Multibeam Echo Sounder With Sea Bottom Imaging System
Conference Proceedings on Engineering in the Ocean Environment, 2005The SIMRAD EM12 is a new full ocean depth multibeam echo sounder, operating at 13 kHz. By use of interf erometric signal processing techniques it will acheive an ultra wide swath geometry of 150 degrees, corresponding to 7 . 5 times the depth of water.
