Simulation Study on SAR Images of the Oceanic Internal Waves

Based on the research of Lynett and Liu,the horizontal fully two-dimensional,depth-integrated model for the internal wave propagation is re-deduced.By combining this model with the M4S model,the propagation process of the internal waves is simulated in Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)images.The simulation results clearly show the bottom effects during the propagation such as fission and isobaths-parallelized propagation direction.This simulation procedure can lay the foundation for the quantitative interpretation of internal waves from fully two-dimensional SAR images.
