In this study, we focus on the investigations of oil slicks observed by TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X operating over the drilling platforms in Forties oil field, the largest one in the North Sea. Previous researches indicate that oil spills observed by consecutive SAR images represent the same leaks, but in this paper, we presented four cases which suggest completely different situations of oil spill variations...
The wind energy production estimates are very important to a wind power project. The remote sensing technique has been widely used to retrieve the offshore wind speed and direction which could be used to calculate the wind energy of potential wind farm. However, almost all existing methods focus on wind power density, and the directional wind energy distributions are rarely studied. Before using remote...
It is known that the slope probability density function (pdf) of the sea surface is non-Gaussian and can be expressed as a Gram-Charlier to fouth-order expension, including seven parameters: slope variances in upwind and crosswind direction, two skewness coefficients and three peakedness coefficients. Cox and Munk[1] had gotten all the seven parameters varying with the wind speed using optical data...
Reflected S-band digital communication satellite signals were collected over 12 days of flights around and into developing hurricanes. Cross correlation with the direct signal was used to generate a power vs. delay waveform which was then fit to a forward scattering model to estimate the mean square slope (MSS) of the ocean surface. The existing L-band (GNSS) empirical model function was applied to...
The results of remote sensing, buoy and profile based on measured data indicate that the wind speed, H1/3 and salinity increased, sea surface temperature declined, and wind direction changed greatly during the transit of the Matmo typhoon on July 25. It was found that the typhoon transport the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass into the the Yellow and Bohai seas mixed zone.
Sea surface salinity (SSS) has a profounding influence on the the exchanges of matter and energy at the air-ocean interface. It is also a driving force for ocean circulations. The capability of accurate measurement of SSS with high spatial and temporal resolution shall be a desirable boost to the global climate models. The scientific missions Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) [1] and Aquarius...
