The US Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District offers a grant to Portland State University for evaluating surface wave parameters at the Columbia River Mouth (MCR) using satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The study aims to detect, monitor, and model ocean waves to enhance navigation through the MCR inlet and maintain near-shore navigation structures. Through this cooperative agreement, historic SAR images will be used to build a surface wave parameter database, and real-time SAR data will be utilized for ongoing monitoring if available. Grant awarded under WRDA 1999 for innovative SAR image analysis methods in ocean wave studies.

Additional Information
| Agency Name:: | Dept. of the Army — Corps of Engineers |
| Description:: | The US Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District (USACE) intends to enter into a sole source cooperative agreement with Portland State University (PSU) for evaluation of surface wave parameters at the Columbia River Mouth (MCR) using satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. This agreement constitutes a follow-on effort to explore work previously completed by PSU.
The goal of this study is to detect, monitor, and model ocean waves in order to improve navigation through the MCR inlet and maintain near-shore navigation structures. The methods used in this study will constitute an effective method for SAR image analysis that can be employed in future studies to: a) build up a surface wave parameter database using historic SAR images, and b) monitor ocean surface waves by using real-time SAR data, if such data become available. This cooperative agreement will be awarded pursuant to WRDA 1999 113 STAT. 269 PUBLIC LAW 10653AUG. 17, 1999 Section 101(b) (13). |
