|
Research Tools |
|
- Air-Sea Exchange—gas and heat, biogeochemical cycling, rainfall
- Coastal—rivers, tidal flats, nearshore
- Ocean/Atmosphere—climate change, ocean circulation, atmospheric rolls, hurricanes
- Sensors—microwave, infrared, laser, hydrophone, dissolved gas
- Waves—wave breaking, internal waves
|
|
Our remote sensing tools span a wide range of scales from satellite remote sensing, to field experiments using surface and airborne platforms, and to laboratory experiments in wave tanks. Remote sensing instruments used include electro-optical sensors (microwave, infrared, and laser) and acoustic sensors (sonars and hydrophones).
