KFEW³O stands for '''K'''üsten-'''FE'''rnerkundung und '''W'''echsel'''W'''irkungen an der '''W'''asser'''O'''berfläche (Coastal Remote sensing and Air-Water Interactions). We perform systematic analyses of satellite imagery, particularly of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery of coastal regions, of field campaigns involving measurements of the radar backscattering from the sea surface, and of lab experiments in the University's wind-wave tank.

FEW³O steht für Fernerkundung von Wechselwirkungen an der Wasseroberfläche. Mitglieder der Gruppe beschäftigen sich mit Messungen von (Gas-) Austauschprozessen im Labor (Windwellenkanal), mit Feldmessungen der Radarrückstreuung von der Meeresoberfläche oder mit der systematischen Analyse von Satellitenbildern, vor allem von küstennahen Seegebieten. ----
== Satellite Imagery ==
We are regularly analysing satellite images, particularly those acquired by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors. These high-resolution active microwave sensors are used to derive oceanic processes and phenomena from sea surface roughness variations that manifest in spatial variations of the SAR image intensity. Below is a list of recent and actual studies based on systematic analyses of large numbers of SAR data.

=== Satellitenbilder ===
Regelmäßig werden Satellitenbilder ausgewertet, vor allem solche, die mit einem Synthetik-Apertur-Radar (SAR) aufgenommen wurden. Diese hochauflösenden aktiven Mikrowellensensoren werden genutzt, um aus räumlichen Variationen der Bildintensität auf Rauigkeitsvariationen der Wasseroberfläche und die dafür verantwortlichen hydrodynamischen Phänomene zu schließen. Das wird zum Beispiel genutzt zur Identifikation von Oberflächenfilmen auf dem Meer und zur Klassifikation von trocken gefallenen Wattgebieten (dort ist die Watt- und nicht die Wasseroberfläche Rückstreuer).

KFEW³O at IfM

KFEW³O stands for Küsten-FErnerkundung und WechselWirkungen an der WasserOberfläche (Coastal Remote sensing and Air-Water Interactions). We perform systematic analyses of satellite imagery, particularly of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery of coastal regions, of field campaigns involving measurements of the radar backscattering from the sea surface, and of lab experiments in the University's wind-wave tank.

These high-resolution active microwave sensors are used to derive oceanic processes and phenomena from sea surface roughness variations that manifest in spatial variations of the SAR image intensity. Below is a list of recent and actual studies based on systematic analyses of large numbers of SAR data.

  • KFEW3O/SARWatt Sediments and habitats on exposed intertidal flats. Variations in the normalized radar cross section at different radar bands and polarizations can be used to gain information on the distribution of various sediments and on the location of habitats on dry-fallen sandbanks.

  • IndoNACE SAR images are already being used for the operational oil-spill monitoring. These images are used for comprehensive statistical analyses that allow, e.g., for an assessment of the mean oil pollution of dedicated coastal regions and its seasonal variability. Such analyses were recently done for Indonesian coastal waters. For more information click here.
