Surface Currents and Shallow Water Bathymetry

 

 

An algorithm has been developed to determine high resolution current and shallow water bathymetry maps. The high resolution current can be detected in both deep and shallow water, and the bathymetry in water less than 30 metres in depth. These maps allow the investigation of morphodynamics and small scale dynamic processes in coastal zones.
 
This example from Helgoland in the North Sea of a high resolution bathymetry map over-plotted with the surface current. The color-coding represents the water depth while the arrows indicate the surface current speed and direction. Small scale current eddies are well resolved.
