A neural-network-fusion architecture for automatic extraction of oceanographic features from satellite remote sensing imagery
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/06)This report describes an approach for automatic feature detection from fusion of remote sensing imagery using a combination of neural network architecture and the Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory of -
A satellite based ocean forecasting system to support naval operations in crisis situations
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/05)We employ a nonlinear ocean forecasting technique based on a combination of genetic algorithms and empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis. The method is used to forecast the space-time variability of the sea surface ... -
An analysis of selected satellite data of the Aegean area with the STARS software
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/11)Data from selected orbits of the NOAA-7 meteorological satellite are used for an exploratory analysis -
An automatic approach to ship detection in spaceborne synthetic aperture radar imagery: an assessment of ship detection capability using RADARSAT
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/12)This report describes a methodology for automated ship and wake detection in space-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery. The methodology incorporates a multistage approach involving several algorithms which can ... -
Automatic picture transmission receivers for weather satellite images: a brief introduction and survey of some commercially-available equipment
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)The Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) signal is broadcast from several polar-orbiting weather -
Comparison of satellite-retrieved sea-surface temperatures with drifter and ship-borne measurements
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/01)Sea-surface temperatures (SST) retrieved from satellite imagery are compared with in-situ measured data. The satellite data are from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) of the series of NOAA satellites, ... -
Deep water mass circulation in the Alboran Basin: Measurements - August to November'83: ALBORAN III
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/02)The circulation of the deep water mass in the western Alboran Sea is studied. Interaction between the -
Development of barotropic models for the GIN Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1991/03)Barotropic ocean models are developed for deep oceans, with arbitrary topography and basin geometry, on a sphere. A special adaptation is made for the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian (GIN) Seas with closed lateral boundaries. ... -
Measurements for satellite validation made from the RV Alliance during October and November 1991
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)Measurements of sea-surface temperature, surface meteorology and atmospheric profiles were taken from the RV Alliance between 1 October -
Noise measurements during MAPEX 2000
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/03)During MAPEX2000 some simultaneous ambient noise measurements with an HLA and satellite SAR images were collected. The aim was to predict shipping and wind noise from the satellite radar and to compare results with acoustic ... -
On the applicability of satellite-borne SAR imagery to coastal oceanography
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/02)Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images have been acquired from the first European Space Agency (ESA) remote sensing satellite ERS- 1. The mesoscale feature images are from Norwegian coastal waters and the Mediterranean (Elba ... -
Remote sensing of topographically-induced upwelling in the southern coastal region of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/09)Upwelling signatures caused by variations in bottom topography along the southeastern Sicilian coast are identified, using spaceborne remote sensing Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery, ERS-1 and ... -
Satellite measurements of sea surface temperature: some consequences of variability on validation and applications
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1990/07)Sea-surface temperature (SST) measurements from both spaceborne and in situ sensors are analysed to determine likely temperature differences that can arise between two measurements separated in space and time. This has ... -
Sea-surface winds in the Iceland-Faeroe area, as derived from the ERS-1 scatterometer
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1994/04)This report presents measurements of surface meteorological data taken during three cruises of R/V Alliance to the Iceland-Faeroe frontal area during August 1991 (NORDIC'91), March 1992 (NORDIC'92a) and October 1992 ... -
Surface measurements made during the Icelandic Current Experiment (ICE 89) from the R/V Alliance
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1991/10)Measurements of surface meteorology and sea temperature taken during the GIN '89A cruise of the research vessel Alliance are presented in the form of time-series plots. The cruise was in the southern Icelandic and Norwegian ... -
