Request a sales quoteCoastal Altimetry: Selected Case Studies from Asian Shelf Seas provides information on developments over the past decade in the processing of remotely sensed altimetry in coastal areas, with an overview of expected errors and where they stem from, along with remaining gaps in processing. Challenges covered include the retracking of the altimetric signal to account for land contamination, tropospheric water corrections, and tidal model improvements, along with the pros and cons of widely available products. Additional chapters provide recent research in the regional seas of Asia and cover variability, dynamics, predictability and prediction, impacts of extreme events, effects to ecosystems, and more.
This book offers readers a dataset that can illuminate our understanding of the propagation of planetary boundary waves that have a significant sea level signal in near coastal regions. As such, researchers and students who have a foundation in satellite altimetry and want to know the latest development of open ocean and coastal satellite altimetry, especially in Asian coastal regions, will benefit from this book.
- Presents the advancement of coastal altimetry technologies from various dedicated experts
- Includes case studies throughout to give real-life examples that can be implemented globally
- Provides chapters that include summaries of key points and an outlook to the future

Stefano Vignudelli
Dr. Stefano Vignudelli is a senior scientist employed at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (National Research Council) in Pisa, Italy. He has over 25 years of scientific experience in the area of satellite remote sensing (radar altimetry, in particular) for studying coastal and inland environments (water level variability, in particular). Most significant accomplishment include leading development of satellite radar altimetry in the coastal zone to provide improved measurements for sea level research and applications. He is actively involved in international cooperation through joint projects, exchange visits, attendance at workshops and capacity building. He is also co-author of five chapters of books and around 100 publications (41 in peer-reviewed journals). He is coordinator/partner/evaluator of scientific projects. He is member of organizing/scientific committees and international societies. He is also an associate editor for Elsevier Advances in Space Research Journal in the area of satellite oceanography and vice-president elect of PORSEC association.
