Abstract
This paper describes the ongoing efforts at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center (NERSC) to integrate Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery into an operational coastal monitoring system. The capabilities of the SAR to image ocean waves, internal waves, bathymetry, eddies, fronts, natural film, oil slicks and wind in the marine boundary layer, have previously been demonstrated. In order to quantify products of ocean fronts, natural films, wind speed and wind fronts, SAR imagery obtained along the southern coast of Norway has been analysed in conjunction with in situ information, numerical models and other available remote sensing data. The results are used in the process of validation and improvement of SAR ocean models and SAR operational applications.
