About
About the course
Course content
The first part of the course reviews the relevant mathematics and physics required for the understanding of acoustic and electromagnetic wave propagation. This part will be adapted to the students`s previous knowledge and requirements. Thereafter an overwiev of telecommunication systems is given and with descriptions of radar, sonar and lidar systems operated from various platforms such as satellites, aircraft, underwater vehicles and stationary observations systems. Focus is given on system for the assessment of biomass abundance, fish and plankton and systems for monitoring of oceanographic parameters. Other central themes are systems for navigation and positing and systems for data communication in air using radio waves and underwater using acoustic waves. Finally the course describes the principles for model based estimation and inversion and relevant examples are presented.
Learning outcome
The course should lead to a knowledge of the physical laws and principles fall types of systems for marine monitoring and also gives and overview over the applications of technology for observation of marine environment.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, class room exercises. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral. The course may be held in English.
