Book Near Real Time GIS in Deep Ocean Exploration

Download or read book Near Real Time GIS in Deep Ocean Exploration written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a 1991 oceanographic research expedition to the Juan de Fuca Ridge, the Deep Submergence Laboratory (DSL) of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) applied interactive mapping with a geographic information system (GIS) in conjunction with real-time navigation. As DSL's remotely operated vehicle (ROV), Jason, surveyed a hydrothermal vent field, acoustic navigation updates were combined with maps generated to the specifications of participating scientists. The maps, which were generated in near-real time, were used to plan vehicle operations in a hazardous environment and to monitor survey progress and data quality. Geologic observations made in real-time by scientists monitoring ROV sensors were logged into data files, combined with processed navigation, and used to produce preliminary updates to maps of the vent field. This experimental combination of GIS technology with navigation and visualization software was highly successful. Future scientific efforts will include further processing of sensor data, integration of image products into the GIS database, and the production of high-quality mapping products.

Book Marine Geographic Information System MGIS

Download or read book Marine Geographic Information System MGIS written by Delta data systems inc picayune ms and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A SBIR Phase I project was undertaken by Delta Data Systems, Inc. and Neptune Sciences, Inc. which focused on feasibility issues relating to the development of a Marine Geographic Information System (MGIS) that could support Logistics Over the Shore (LOTS) planning and operational monitoring tasks. Significant feasibility issues such as integrating with wave models and ancillary data integration were addressed and resolved in the Phase I effort. Phase I prototype MGIS proved that value added support to the LOTS is feasible and generates visualization of coastal environment and coastal processes from historical and contemporary (near real time) perspective. Phase I prototype proved geographic information organized in a spatial context sufficiently increases information quality and retrieval speed for supporting LOTS interactive decision making. The LOTS decision making is creditable since the decision making is a unction of data availability and quality. Phase I successfully demonstrated an interchange between the Navy SURF model and a prototype MGIS. The SURF model was "fed" by MGIS and SURF model output was visualized as a map of predicted wave activity in the prototype MGIS. Bathymetry, wind, tide, WDBII/DLG shoreline, and surface generation provided the input data that conceptualized an integrated MGIS.

Book excerpt: The publication is an easy-to-understand publication that emphasizes the fundamental skills and processes associated with geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. The first chapter initially puts the array of spatially related problems into perspective and discusses the earlier applications of GIS and remote sensing. Chapters, 2, 3 and 4 outline what are considered to be the basics on which GIS can function, i.e. hardware and software; spatial data; and how GIS systems themselves are best implemented. Chapter 5 looks at preparing the data for GIS use and Chapter 6 explores what remote sensing consists of and the main purposes for its use. Chapter 7 discusses the functional tools and techniques offered by typical GIS software packages. Chapters 8, 9 and 10 examine respectively, the current issues and status, including extensive case studies, of the application of GIS and remote sensing to aquaculture, to inland fisheries and to marine fisheries.

Book Simulation of the Sea Surface for Remote Sensing

Download or read book Simulation of the Sea Surface for Remote Sensing written by Alexander Zapevalov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the formation of the signal reflected from the sea surface when sensing in the radio and optical range. Currently, remote sensing from space is the main source of information about the processes taking place in the atmosphere and ocean. The correct interpretation of remote sensing data requires detailed information about the rough surface that forms the reflected signal. The first three chapters describe the statistical and spatial-temporal characteristics of the sea surface, focusing on the effects associated with the nonlinearity of sea surface waves. The analysis makes extensive use of data obtained by the authors on a stationary oceanographic platform located on the Black sea. In the next seven chapters, the authors analyze how the nonlinearity of waves affects the formation of a signal reflected from the sea surface.This book is geared for advanced level research in the general subject area of remote sensing and modeling as they apply to the coastal marine environment. It is of value to scientists and engineers involved in the development of methods and instruments of remote sensing, analysis and interpretation of data. It is useful for students who have decided to devote themselves to the study of the oceans.
