REMOCEAN is a remote sensing system for the wave and current monitoring, based on a nautical X-Band radar, usually deployed for navigation and ship traffic control. Here, we present the results obtained by the analysis of the data collected by the Remocean system, installed in the port of Giglio Island, during the storm of the 27 November 2012. For this test case, the effectiveness of the Remocean wave height reconstruction has been evaluated by analyzing the spectral slope and the statistical properties of the ocean waves and comparing them with independent measures provided by a buoy installed in the proximity the 'Costa Concordia' shipwreck. © 2013 IEEE.

Abstract
REMOCEAN is a remote sensing system for the wave and current monitoring, based on a nautical X-Band radar, usually deployed for navigation and ship traffic control. Here, we present the results obtained by the analysis of the data collected by the Remocean system, installed in the port of Giglio Island, during the storm of the 27 November 2012. For this test case, the effectiveness of the Remocean wave height reconstruction has been evaluated by analyzing the spectral slope and the statistical properties of the ocean waves and comparing them with independent measures provided by a buoy installed in the proximity the 'Costa Concordia' shipwreck. © 2013 IEEE.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
