The aim is to provide the basic knowledge on the measurement methods applicable in the marine environment, specifically on coastal/satellite remote systems and in-situ devices (buoys, currentmeters, anemometers, tidal stations). After the course students will have basic knowledge of satellite measurement systems and will have developed competences on image analysis. Students will also be able of obtaining and analysing Copernicus program products and of using these data to help solving practical problems in coastal and ocean engineering, with special focus on the study of hydrodynamic fields and water quality.
