I. Hennings et al., EXPERIMENTAL-METHOD TO MEASURE SURFACE SIGNATURE GENERATION BY SEA BOTTOM UNDULATIONS, IEEE journal of oceanic engineering, 19(1), 1994, pp. 36-40
An experimental method to investigate submarine bedform signatures at
the sea surface is described. The study area was the Lister Tief in th
e German Bight of the southeastern North Sea, a semienclosed tidal bas
in with asymmetric and very large sand waves. In-situ and remote measu
rements of surface roughness were obtained simultaneously. An X-band w
ave monitoring radar, an oceanographic multisensor sea surface buoy, a
n acoustic Doppler current profiler, and a standard echo sounder were
operated on and from board a research vessel while drifting along the
tidal channel.
