Abstract: | An experimental method to investigate submarine bedform signatures at the sea surface is described. The study area was the Lister Tief in the German Bight of the southeastern North Sea, a semienclosed tidal basin with asymmetric and very large sand waves. In-situ and remote measurements of surface roughness were obtained simultaneously. An X-band wave monitoring radar, an oceanographic multisensor sea surface buoy, an acoustic Doppler current profiler, and a standard echo sounder were operated on and from board a research vessel while drifting along the tidal channel |
