EDUCATION AND TRAINING 2009 2015 Doctor of Natural Sciences. Grade very good ChristianAlbrechtsUniversitt zu Kiel Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Kiel, Germany PhD dissertation Sea state measurements using TerraSARXTanDEMXdata. In the aim of this thesis, the first algorithm to derive sea state ocean wave height, wavelength and direction information from TerraSARX and TanDemX synthetic aperture radar SAR data is developed. The algorithm development, its tuning and validation dataset are described. Wave height, period and direction and the wave spectra shape derived using the algorithm are validated against insitu wave measurements and numerical wave model data. Case study applications of high resolution wave field derived from SAR data acquired in coastal areas using the proposed algorithm are presented and its performance evaluated. 2006 2008 Masters in Geophysical Sciences Oceanography, Grade very good University of Lisbon Faculty of Sciences of Lisbon , Portugal httpwww.fc.ul.pt Masters thesis dissertation Directional wave spectra obtained by ENVISAT ASAR and its use for the ocean wave energy resource assessment. This study focuses on the use of ENVISAT SAR level 2 data acquired over the sea surface and the evaluation of its performance by comparing against insitu wave measurements, numerical wave model and radar altimeter data.
