Asia Rip: Surface Wave Expression of Bathymetry.

An NRL remote sensing experiment was conducted in July 1982 to measure ocean surface manifestations of subsurface topography and hydrography. The central topographic feature in the operational area was Phelps Bank (40 deg 50 min N-69 deg 20 min W). This report presents the results of current measure...

Description
Summary:An NRL remote sensing experiment was conducted in July 1982 to measure ocean surface manifestations of subsurface topography and hydrography. The central topographic feature in the operational area was Phelps Bank (40 deg 50 min N-69 deg 20 min W). This report presents the results of current measurements made in the vicinity of Phelps Bank and interpretation of the local surface wave field in terms of wave-current interaction related to the bathymetry.
