Identification of a system of oceanic waves based on space imagery

A system of circular surface oceanic waves that was registered on one of the images taken in accordance with the Uragan program of space experiment is identified. Within the framework of the hypothesis that the waves were generated as a result of an impulse effect on the oceanic surface, mathematical models that describe excitation and propagation of waves in the conditions of long-wave theory, as well as in liquid of infinite and finite depths were involved to image analysis. As a result of calculations, the simulated wave system was made close to the one registered in the image. This confirmed the hypothesis and allowed us to estimate the physical parameters of the initial impulse perturbation.
