Sea state information is needed for many applications, ranging from safety at sea and on the
coast, for which real time data are essential, to planning and design needs for infrastructure …

Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth's surface and provide numerous services to humans
and the environment. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor these valuable assets using …

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a powerful tool for monitoring sea states in terms of the
significant wave height (SWH). Regarding the specific wave mode, to date, the previous …

ABSTRACT An accurate Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is essential for Synthetic
Aperture Radar (SAR) wave spectra retrieval. This study aimed to investigate the …

The goal of this study was to investigate the performance of a spectral-transformation wave
retrieval algorithm and confirm the accuracy of wave retrieval from C-band Chinese Gaofen …

Two empirical algorithms are developed for wave mode images measured from the synthetic
aperture radar aboard Sentinel‐1 A. The first method, called CWAVE_S1A, is an extension …

This paper introduces a method for estimating a series of sea state parameters from satellite-
borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The method was realized in a near real time (NRT) …

Satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observations can provide a global view of ocean
swell fields when using a specific “wave mode” sampling. A methodology is presented to …

Abstract Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has emerged as a pivotal technology in
geosciences, offering unparalleled insights into Earth's surface. Indeed, its ability to provide …

The Sentinel-1 satellites equipped with synthetic aperture radars (SARs) provide near-
global coverage of the world's oceans every six days. We curate a data set of collocations …
