Coastal zones are essential for the socio-economic well-being of many nations. Coastal regions, which are the location of large population centres, have multiple uses, needs and opportunities, and are particularly exposed to extreme events and [...]
Innovative user-relevant satellite products for coastal and transitional waters
The Earth's coastal and transitional waters are fundamental resources and encompass a broad<br />range of ecosystems that are core to global biogeochemical cycling, food and energy production.<br />The mounting conflicting pressures from the number of [...]
Investigation of internal waves in Asian Seas using European and Chinese satellite data
The East and South China Seas, the Sulu Sea, and the Andaman Sea the sea areas, where the most intense internal wave are encountered in the WorldÔÇÖs ocean. Internal waves are of relevance, among others, for off-shore activities since they can [...]
Satellite altimeter is one of important global ocean remote sensing technique to monitor the<br />marine dynamic environment. Sentinel-3A/3B satellite equipped with SRAL have been launched<br />on 16 Feb. 2016 and 25 Apr. 2018 in Europe, and HY-2A/2B [...]
Monitoring Harsh Coastal environments and Ocean Surveillance using radar remote sensing (MAC-OS)
The proposed project aims at demonstrating the benefits of radar products for coastal area monitoring and, therefore, it is framed into the ÔÇ£Ocean & coastal zoneÔÇØ Dragon-5 thematic area. The various sub-topics addressed within this domain [...]
Monitoring of marine environment disasters using CFOSAT, HY Series and multiple satellites data
As global climate change intensifies, many countries are facing increasing marine environment disasters. These disasters, such as typhoons, giant waves, macroalgal blooms and decrease in sea ice cover pose a serious threat to coastal areas, [...]
Remote Sensing of Changing Coastal Marine Environments (ReSCCoME)
Coastal marine environments, being invaluable ecosystems and host to many species, are under increasing pressure caused by anthropogenic impacts such as, among others, growing economic use, coastline changes and recreational activities. A [...]
Synergistic Monitoring of Ocean Dynamic Environment from Multi-Sensors
Observing, understanding and predicting ocean swell has been a focus on study in both China and Europe for climate, meteorology, environment and economy. To monitor at global scale ocean swell will improve the wind and wave forecast for marine [...]
Toward a Multi-sensor Analysis of Tropical Cyclone
Oceans, especially the upper oceans , play key roles on the earth climate regulation (e.g., climate change) as well as for human societies. Despite the ever-increasing development of simulation and observation capabilities leading to earth [...]
