Abstract:

This is the third in a series of papers devoted to the development of technical tools and techniques for rapid and comprehensive analysis of the ecological status of coastal waters by optical methods. The possibility of shore-based optical systems to map and to determine the dynamic characteristics of ocean eddies and internal waves are shown. The efficiency of the maximum cross-correlation method to recover the velocity field of the flow in the vortex body and the phase velocities of internal waves, using optical images of the sea surface is discussed.
