Abstract
Abstract Multispectral scanner (MSS) data from the Natural Environment Research Councils (NERC) aircraft flown over the island of Flat Holm in the Bristol Channel, U.K. have been used in association with a System Probatoire d'Observation de la Terre, high-resolution visible scanner (SPOT HRV) image of the same area to identify the major surface water flow patterns around the island. Theoretical scaling parameters for shallow water flows are used to predict wake form and compared with the MSS and SPOT HRV images. Initial results indicate that the mathematical approach gives a useful approximation to the observed flow patterns though additional information on tidal currents throughout the tidal cycle and detailed bathymetry in the area are required to further the predictive model.
