  1. Development of an imaging polarimeter for water wave slope measurements

    Bauer, Paulus SalomonUniversität Heidelberg

    An imaging polarimetric slope sensing instrument for measuring water waves has been developed. From themeasurement of the intensities of three different linear polarization states, it is possible to determine the first three components of the polarization Stokes vector. The slope of the water …

  2. Development of a reflective stereo slope gauge for the measurement of ocean surface wave slope statistics

    Kiefhaber, DanielUniversität Heidelberg

    … instrument for the measurement of surface ocean wave statistics has been developed and is presented in this thesis. Based on the reflective stereo slope gauge (RSSG) principle, it can simultaneously measure wave slope and height statistics. The instrument comprises a stereo camera setup and two …

  4. A Simple Instrument for the Measurement of the Slope and Height Distributions ofSmall Scale Wind-Driven Water Waves

    Huhn, FlorianUniversität Heidelberg

    A new optical wave gauge was built to measure simultaneously two statistical parameters of wind induced water surface waves, namely the surface slope and surface amplitude probability distribution functions. The new instrument was tested in a linear wind wave flume with a water depth of 10 cm. The …

    Millet, Floyd W.2004

    … between the bias wind speed and significant wave height. These models reduce RMS estimation errors of the EM bias to approximately 4 cm.</p> <p>To improve EM bias estimation the correlation between the bias and RMS long wave slope is studies using data from tower-based experiments in the Gulf …

  6. YSCAT Backscatter Distributions

    Barrowes, Benjamin E.2003

    <p>YSCAT is a unique ultrawideband microwave scatterometer developed to investigate the sea surface under a variety of environmental and radar parameters. The YSCAT94 experiment consisted of a six month deployment on the WAVES research tower operated by the Canada Center for inland Waters (CCIW). …

  7. Spatio-temporal slope measurement of short wind waves under the influence of surface films at the Heidelberg Aeolotron

    Reith, SvenjaUniversität Heidelberg

    A novel, high resolution Imaging Slope Gauge (ISG) at the Heidelberg Aeolotron is presented. The instrument allows measurements of the two-dimensional slope of short wind-driven water waves at unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution. Wave number spectra are measured up to k = 13000 rad/m with …

  8. Studies to Improve Estimation of the Electromagnetic Bias in Radar Altimetry

    Smith, Justin DeWitt2003

    … the backscattered power versus the phase of the wave. Its purpose is to determine why the normalized EM bias stops increasing and levels out at high wind speeds (about 11 m/s) and then decreases at higher wind speeds. Two possible causes are investigated. First, it could be due to a shift in the …

  9. Laboratory measurements of the sound generated by breaking waves

    Loewen, Mark RichardMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution1991

    Breaking waves dissipate energy, transfer momentum from the wind to surface currents and breaking enhances the transfer of gas and mass across the air-sea interface. Breaking waves are believed to be the dominant source of sea surface sound at frequencies greater than 500 Hz and the presence of …

  10. Gravity, capillary and dilational wave mode resonance at a visco-elastic two-fluid interface

    Brown, Susan Jayne, 1967-Massachusetts Institute of Technology2005

    … We designed an experimental set-up to measure wave number, spatial damping coefficient, and wave slope data for a 3-10 hertz frequency range of transverse and longitudinal waves in a clean enclosed flume. We used kimball-mounted lasers whose beams passed through optical glass in the tank and …

  11. The impact of wave-modified wind stress in an ocean circulation model

    Germain, NicolasUniversidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro2017

    A wave-related momentum flux parametrization is introduced in the ocean circulation model HYCOM. The physical process driving this parametrization is the growing and dissipation of the surface wave field. Two numerical experiments are conducted for the South Atlantic: one with the new wave effect …

  12. Dynamics Of Internal Solitary Wave And Bottom Boundary Interaction

    Aghsaee, Payam2012

    The breaking of internal solitary waves (ISWs) of depression shoaling upon a uniformly sloping boundary in a smoothed two-layer density field was investigated using high-resolution two-dimensional simulations. The simulations were performed for a wide range of boundary slopes S∈[0.01,0.3] and wave …
