High-Resolution Thermal Imaging in the Antarctic Marginal Ice Zone: Skin Temperature Heterogeneity and Effects on Heat Fluxes

This article was published on 14 September 2023. 👤 Ippolita Tersigni, Alberto Alberello, Gabriele Messori, Marcello Vichi, Miguel Onorato, Alessandro Toffoli Abstract Insufficient in situ observations from the Antarctic marginal ice zone (MIZ) limit our understanding and description of relevant mechanical and thermodynamic processes that regulate the seasonal sea ice cycle. Here we present high-resolution

A satellite altimetry data assimilation approach to optimise sea state estimates from vessel motion

This article was published on 31 January 2023. 👤 Filippo Nelli, Marzieh H. Derkani, Alberto Alberello, Alessandro Toffoli Abstract Estimates of directional wave spectra and related parameters can be obtained from ship motion data through the wave-buoy analogy approach. The fundamental input is the response amplitude operator (RAO), which translates ship response into a wave
