Spotter meets 3D vision in the Mediterranean Sea
Spotter meets 3D vision in the Mediterranean Sea
The ISMAR research team led by Dr. Alvise Benetazzo uses Spotters to study the interaction between atmosphere and ocean.
The ISMAR research team also uses the Spotter to study wave growth effects in Lake Garda (Italy, see Figure 1). The daily wind regime for Lake Garda is characterized by daily 180° changes in wind direction (wind inversion), which drives complicated surface dynamics on the lake. The Spotter, due to its small size and responsiveness to short, wind-driven waves, is suited to make measurements in this dynamic environment.
