Surge motion describes the floating ship's linear longitudinal bow and stern motion and is translational. This motion is internally (rudder-hull interaction) or externally (wind or sea current) induced, and it creates hydrodynamic forces on the vessel. (Adumene, Sidum & Ikue-John, Hope. 2022. Offshore system safety and operational challenges in harsh Arctic operations. Journal of Safety Science and Resilience. 3. 10.1016/j.jnlssr.2022.02.001.)

Bottom reverberation results from the superposition of scattering echoes generated by numerous seafloor scatterers, encapsulating rich information about the ocean environment [1,2], which is widely utilized in analyzing the seafloor substrate and the inversion of parameters.

Often referred to as digital agriculture, this is a process involving digital technologies (such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, blockchain, etc.) that encompasses access, content and capabilities. When appropriately combined for the local context and needs within existing food and agricultural practices, it can deliver high agrifood value and contribute to improving socioeconomic and potentially environmental outcomes.
