Small vessels also make up significant proportions of many nations’ overall boat populations, but can […]
Overview This service delivers coastline, and, where relevant intertidal maps. The coastline method works by identifying land-water boundaries in time series of SAR data and high-resolution optical images. Tidal corrections are applied in order to establish locations for high and low water shorelines, and the location of mean sea level. Tidal corrections are based on […]
