... Abstract From February to June 2015, the Loop Current and its associated eddies were monitored at an unprecedented rate in southern Walker Ridge using traditional satellite sensors, satellite-tracked Lagrangian buoys, ship-mounted ADCPs, and moored ADCPs. In addition, a newly developed aerial...

... 310 km south of New Orleans. The study area covers approximately 120 km 2 and extends to water depths of 1300 m – 2170 m. The available data included a deep-tow multibeam bathymetry and ultra-high-resolution 2D seismic grid in combination with satellite seepage slick interpretations from the greater...

... Abstract With the rapid development of computing and mapping software, meteorologists are able to create graphical marine weather forecasts to provide drilling operations a better picture of the weather windows for their operations. By being able to combine satellite, radar, operation...

... Radar (SAR) missions. It is an all-weather, day-and-night, geographically independent sensor. Spaceborne SAR mapping of ice has been available since the 1970s; however routine SAR monitoring was not possible until the launch of Europe's ERS-1 satellite in 1992. This event also heralded in an era...
