Current Mapping from the Wave Spectrum
Benjamin K. Smeltzer, Simen Å. Ellingsen
In this chapter we review methods by which near--surface ocean currents can be measured remotely using images of the water surface, as obtained by X-band radar in particular. The p…
Observation of surface wave patterns modified by sub-surface shear currents
Benjamin K. Smeltzer, Eirik Æsøy, Simen Å. Ellingsen
We report experimental observations of two canonical surface wave patterns --- ship waves and ring waves --- skewed by sub-surface shear, thus confirming effects predicted by recen…
An improved method for determining near-surface currents from wave dispersion measurements
Benjamin K. Smeltzer, Eirik Æsøy, Anna Ådnøy +1
A new inversion method for determining near-surface shear currents from a measured wave spectrum is introduced. The method is straightforward to implement and starts from the exist…
