SPECIAL SESSION DESCRIPTION
Methodology and measurements for marine applications encompass a vast, multidisciplinary framework of techniques, sensors, and standards designed to monitor physical, chemical, biological, and structural dynamics in marine environments. Because the ocean is inherently corrosive, highly dynamic, and subject to extreme pressures, specialized marine metrology is required to ensure data accuracy and operational safety.
Methodology and measurements for marine applications encompass the systematic observation, data collection, and analysis of oceanic and maritime conditions. These methodologies utilize highly calibrated sensors, remote sensing, and numerical modeling to ensure data is traceable and reliable. Common marine measurement methodologies rely on specific instrumentation tailored to distinct physical, chemical, or biological parameters. They serve as a starting point for presenting recent advances in the field of methodology and measurement to be applied for the increasing of our knowledge for protecting and preserving the sea. This special session welcome contributions that include but not limited to methodologies, sensors, instrumentations, algorithm for sea applications.
ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS
Antonio Sorrentino obtained bachelor’s degree and master’s degree and a PhD – Doctor Europeus - in Telecommunication Engineering at Università di Napoli Parthenope on April 2003, November 2005 and December 2008 respectively. Since December 2008 he was employed as a Technician at Electromagnetic and Remote Sensing Laboratory of the Università degli Studi di Napoli Parthenope where he was involved in educational and research activities. From august 2025 he became a researcher – RTDA – at Università degli Studi di Cagliari. His research deals with reverberation and anechoic chambers, emulation of complex electromagnetic environments, Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) applications, analysis of wireless devices and signals in controlled environments, millimeter wave radar techniques for sea marine applications, methodologies for target detection on sea surface. Antonio Sorrentino is reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility (TEMC), Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing (TGRS). Antonio Sorrentino is a member of the National Inter-University Consortium for Telecommunications (CNIT).
Emanuele Setale was born in Naples on 21 November 1996. He obtained a bachelor’s degree in Computer, Biomedical and Telecommunications Engineering in November 2021 and a Master’s Degree in Data and Communications Security in June 2024 at the University of Naples Parthenope. Since November 2024, he has been enrolled in the XL Cycle of the ICTE (Information and Communication Technology and Engineering) PhD programme at the University of Naples Parthenope. His current research projects are primarily focused on microwave activities using satellite and ground-based radar for the study of vegetation, soil moisture, water content, plastic at sea and the phenological phases of plants, with a particular interest in plant health. Emanuele Setale is reviewer for Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing (TGRS), International Journal of Remote Sensing and Remote Sensing Letters (IJRS), IEEE MetroSea Conference.
