Surface Currents Derived from SAR Doppler Processing: An Analysis over the Naples Coastal Region in South Italy
Virginia Zamparelli,Francesca De Santi,Andrea Cucco,Stefano Zecchetto,Giacomo De Carolis,Gianfranco Fornaro +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the combined use of both ENVISAT calibrated amplitude and Doppler data in conjunction with hindcast wind information provided by atmospheric models as well as wind and doppler Geophysical Model Functions (W/D-GMF) developed, in the literature, for C-Band systems was carried out on a case study located in the Mediterranean Sea which is characterized by a general low circulation regime.

Synergistic Use of Synthetic Aperture Radar and Optical Imagery to Monitor Surface Accumulation of Cyanobacteria in the Curonian Lagoon
Francesca De Santi,Giulia Luciani,Mariano Bresciani,Claudia Giardino,Francesco P. Lovergine,Guido Pasquariello,Diana Vaiciute,Giacomo De Carolis +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images can compensate for the weaknesses of optical images for cyanobacteria bloom monitoring purposes in the event of cloudy skies.

Monitoring Lakes Surface Water Velocity with SAR: A Feasibility Study on Lake Garda, Italy
Marina Amadori,Virginia Zamparelli,Giacomo De Carolis,Gianfranco Fornaro,Marco Toffolon,Mariano Bresciani,Claudia Giardino,Francesca De Santi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possibility of retrieving surface water velocity from SAR Doppler analysis in medium-size lakes and found that the surface velocity retrieved from SAR is found to overestimate the numerical results and the existence of a bias is investigated.

On the ocean wave attenuation rate in grease-pancake ice, a comparison of viscous layer propagation models with field data
Francesca De Santi,Giacomo De Carolis,Piero Olla,Martin Doble,Sukun Cheng,Hayley H. Shen,Jim Thomson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ability of viscous layer models to describe the attenuation of waves propagating in grease-pancake ice covered ocean is investigated; the retrieved ice thickness is then compared with measured data.
