An overview of the Joint US/Russia Internal Wave Remote Sensing Experiment

Numerical study on signatures of atmospheric convective cells in radar images of the ocean

“…An impressive example of a pair of images which exhibit such behavior is shown in Figure 11: While strong signatures of oceanic internal waves can be seen in the HH image, the corresponding VV image is clearly dominated by signatures of superimposed atmospheric convective cells. These and similar other images were obtained from a Russian airborne real aperture radar during the Joint U.S./Russia Internal Wave Remote Sensing Experiment (JUSREX-92) in the New York Bight [Etkin et al, 1994;Gasparovic and Etkin, 1994;Mityagina et al, 1996;Lavrova et al, 1998]. The radar frequency is 13.3 GHz (Ku band), and the incidence angle is -•80 ø at the image center.…”

Electromagnetic Scattering from Multiple Scale Geometries

“…For example, the JUSREX'92 experimental results [Gasparovic and Etkin, 1994] indicated that internal waves are well imaged by HH and W for a stable boundary layer (longer wave spectrum), whereas they are not well imaged in W for an unstable boundary layer (short wave spectrum). The short waves mask long wave patterns in W but not in HH (cf.…”

Characterization of Sun Glitter Statistics in Ocean Video

“…The work by Fraedrich [58] emphasizes low observation angles and contains information about the temporal properties of glitter derived from power spectra. Gasparovic and Etkin [59] documents the Joint U.S./Russia Internal Wave Remote Sensing Experiment that collected remote sensing data, including optical cameras, along with meteorological and oceanographic (METOC) instruments for in situ data. More recently, Strizhkin [60] performed an optical analysis in the style of Cox and Munk [6] on low-altitude photographs of the sea.…”
