Linear Dispersion Relation and Depth Sensitivity to Swell Parameters: Application to Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging and Bathymetry

Figure 2

Subset of the ALOS PALSAR stripmap image, 6.25 m × 6.25 m pixel spacing, acquired on February 13, 2007, at 20:28 UTC, covering the west coast of the Ischia Island in the Gulf of Naples, Italy (background image © Google Earth); swell waves propagate along the ground-range direction and phenomena of shoaling and refraction are well visible approaching the coastline.
