Tracking oceanic nonlinear internal waves in the Indonesian seas from geostationary orbit

Nonlinear Internal Waves (NLIWs) in the ocean are observable from passive satellite radiometers. The surface manifestations of these internally propagating waves are curvilinear bands demarcating relatively smooth and rough surface waters, providing a means for their detection via observations of su...

Zusammenfassung:Nonlinear Internal Waves (NLIWs) in the ocean are observable from passive satellite radiometers. The surface manifestations of these internally propagating waves are curvilinear bands demarcating relatively smooth and rough surface waters, providing a means for their detection via observations of sunglint. Typical horizontal scales of NLIWs are such that traditionally only high resolution (
