Active and Passive Remote Sensing Measurements of the Sea Surface Waves

The sea surface wave spectrum and the sea surface wave parameters are retrieved from acoustic wave gauge measurements and CCD receivers. The measurements took place on the offshore platform in the Black Sea. The acoustic wave gauge was installed near the platform in August-October 2019. In September-October 2019 the optical measurements were taken. The string wave gauge is working on the platform constantly. The first results of simultaneous measurements of the sea surface waves using active and passive remote sensing are presented. An algorithm for variance of slopes of the large-scale (in comparison with the wavelength of the incidence radiation) waves retrieval is introduced.
