Validation of X-band radar-derived current measurements at the Sand Engine: The relation between spatial scale of wave dispersion analysis and accuracy

Monitoring of coastal hydrodynamics over a relatively large spatial extent and a long temporal period is essential to assess the impact of coastline interventions on several functions. An example of a recent coastline intervention is the Sand Engine, a pilot project for optimization of (future) coastline maintenance. This innovative pilot...

The Accuracy and Error Sources of Radar-derived Bathymetry by the XMFit Algorithm

The coastal bathymetry is one of the most essential inputs for understanding, monitoring and modelling the coastal environment. A remote sensing technique called marine radar may overcome disadvantages of present monitoring techniques and has the advantage to obtain measurements with a high spatial and temporal resolution. A Fast Fourier...
