Evaluation of the search and rescue LEEWAY model in the Tyrrhenian Sea: a new point of view

The trajectories' prediction of floating objects above the sea surface represents an important task in search and rescue (SAR) operations. In this paper we show how it is possible to estimate the most probable search area by means of a stochastic model, schematizing the shape of the object appr...
