Remote sensing technologies are extensively applied to prevent, monitor, and forecast
hazardous risk conditions in the present-day global climate change era. This paper presents …

Remote sensing (RS) technologies are extensively exploited by scientists and a vast
audience of local authorities, urban managers, and city planners. Coastal regions …

In 1978, the SEASAT satellite was launched, carrying the first civilian synthetic aperture
radar (SAR). The mission was the monitoring of ocean: application to land was also studied …

Nowadays, sea surface analysis and monitoring increasingly use remote sensing, with
particular interest in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Several SAR techniques exist in …

The SAR Doppler frequencies are directly related to the motion of the scatterers in the
illuminated area and have already been used in marine applications to monitor moving …

Several studies have shown the capabilities of Synthetic Aperture Radar to map sea
currents in ocean regions mainly characterized by large flows. We consider the well known …

Linear frequency modulation (LFM) waveforms have high Doppler-shift endurance because
of the relative wide modulation bandwidth to the Doppler variation. The Doppler shift of the …

Currently, shore-based HF radars are widely used for coastal observations, and airborne
radars are utilized for monitoring the ocean with a relatively large coverage offshore. In order …

At the present time, microwave remote sensing is becoming a valid tool for monitoring and
analyze ocean and sea surface. In the last decade, interest in the study of marine …

Use of the SAR image intensity for estimation of waves and wind over the sea surface is
rather well-established. Interpretation of surface currents estimated from SAR data is, as …
