One recent example is a dual-radar map of surface wind direction and surface currents in the vicinity of a hurricane, which revelas how a storm surge is generated. Dual-radar measurements also yield estimates of surface-wave directionality, which appears to depend on recent wind-direction ...
Dual HF ground wave radars system OSMAR2000 developed by Wuhan University maps ocean surface vector currents by use of two radial current maps measured by both radars The classical algorithm for vector currents mapping cannot be applied in the system directly In this paper,an alternative algorithm ...
An ocean surface currents forecasting system, based on a Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) neural network algorithm, high-frequency (HF) ocean radar measurements and numerical weather prediction (NWP) products, has been developed for a coastal area of the northern Adriatic and compared with operational ROM...

The eddy kinetic energy (EKE) of the global ocean circulation is important to measure and map because it is much larger than the time mean kinetic energy and is thought to be driving the mean circulation in some high eddy activity regions (Holland et al., 1983; Richardson, 1983). The ...

There are two key differences between the observed continuous seismic signal and strain-rate variations that drive the intense microseismicity due to surface crevassing35,36. First, the correlation between the strain rate, \(\dot{\epsilon }\), and tremor is lower (R = 0.45), even if th...
Geodetic Observations of the Ocean Surface Topography, Geoid, Currents, and Changes in Ocean Mass and Volume The tools of geodesy have the potential to transform the Ocean Observing System. Geodetic observations are unique in the way that these methods produce accurate, quantitative, and integrated ...
The intense, efficient transfer of organic carbon from the surface to the deep Southern Ocean make it a key component of the global carbon cycle. Observations show that this process isn’t always driven by sinking diatom skeletons, which often don’t make it past the mid-depth twilight zone,...
