Hydrodynamics and Remote Sensing of Far Wakes of Ships Alex Soloviev, Mikhail Gilman, Silvia Matt, Atsushi Fujimura, Jenny Fenton, and Chris Maingot Project Goal Explorer of the Seas Wake camera Mathematical model of far wakes of ships attuned to remote sensing techniques. (Funding $1,249,712 from US Federal Government.) Field Experiment Camera installation on the Explorer of the Seas http:// oceanlab.rsmas.miami.edu/ Wake image Sonar measurements of ship wake from small boat Laboratory Experiment The tank is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. We study the effect of surfactants on small wind waves which are important scatterers in remote sensing. The wave tank offers a controlled environment and advanced measuring techniques.
