Objective
The aim of the project is to investigate theoretically, numerically, in laboratory and field experiments the phenomenon of bound harmonics of non-linear surface waves in the context of remote sensing of the sea surface. The project specific objectives are: - To investigate theoretically and numerically effect of bound harmonics on surface waves in the context of sea surface remote sensing; - To investigate theoretically and in laboratory studies effect of bound waves on scattering of light, radio and acoustic waves by sea surface; - To develop experimental tools and methods of data processing for adequate treatment of the effect of bound harmonics in remote sensing. The project comprises research teams from 2 NIS countries (Russia, Ukraine) represented by P. P. Shirshov Institute of Oceanology (Moscow), Institute of Applied Physics (Nizhny Novgorod) and Marine Hydrophysical Institute (Sebastopol); 3 INTAS teams from United Kingdom (Keele University), France (Institut de Recherche sur les Phénomènes Hors Equilibre) and Ireland (University College Cork). Recent studies of the teams were closely related to different aspects of the bound wave phenomenon. The project synthesizes their theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches aimed at better understanding of the phenomenon and its use for ocean remote sensing. The main activities in the research program are: - Studies of bound waves and wind wave dynamics: development of new numerical algorithms for modelling weakly nonlinear water waves, physical model of the cascade mechanism of long-short wave interaction, investigations of dispersions of nonlinear gravity-capillary waves; - Investigations of effects of bound waves on scattering of optical, radio and acoustic waves: o numerical simulation of electromagnetic scattering in presence of water wave patterns; o wave tank studies of radar/acoustic backscattering due to bound waves; o studies of the role of bound ripples in the sea surface optical imaging and in radar cross-section under breaking; o wave tank studies of cascade modulation of radar backscatter due to long waves. - New experimental tools and methods of data processing: o radar remote sensing of marine films; o field studies of wind wave spectra; o new statistical approaches for analysis of wind wave patterns. The main expected results are: - new numerical algorithms for nonlinear water waves and their applications for remote sensing, wave tank and field experiments; - a model of cascade modulation of bound waves; - a new radar method of characterization of organic films; - a new statistical approach to wind wave data analysis. The expected results will be used for development of ocean remote sensing methods and will provide new tools of monitoring of dynamic processes in the ocean and atmosphere. The results will be of particular interest for experts in sea surface studies and for commercial exploitation by potential end users of the ocean remote sensing.
