Development of a polar-based method for the calculation of the leeway of floating objects drifting at sea

Development of a polar-based method for the calculation of the leeway of floating objects drifting at sea

Localisation of drifting objects and lost at sea persons is an integral part of search and rescue (SAR) missions. It is thus important to possess effective tools to determine the trajectory of such objects. The method currently used presents some limitations and may prove imprecise in certain cases....
