Littoral Zone Characterization

 
Areté's advanced processing algorithms for retrieving bathymetry and currents in the littoral zone provide numerous battle-space preparation products including:
·      Bathymetry maps
·      Current maps
·      Directional wave spectra
·      Identification and geo-location of the outer surf zone boundary
·      Identification of the zone of largest breakers
·      Shoreline geo-location
·      Sand bar geo-location and structure
·      Digital terrain elevation database of the beach exit zone
·      Measurements over large areas of tidal front dynamics, turbulence, morphology, and sediment transport
