Real and synthetic aperture radars have been used in recent years to image ocean surface
waves. Though wavelike patterns are often discernible on radar images, it is still not fully …

Scatterometry and scatterometer design issues are reviewed. The design of the NASA
Scatterometer (NSCAT) to be flown on the Japanese ADEOS mission is presented. Building …

A constellation of small, low-cost satellites is able to make scientifically valuable
measurements of the Earth which can be used for weather forecasting, disaster monitoring …

INTRODUCTION TO THE PHYSICS AND TECHNIQUES OF REMOTE SENSING
DISCOVER CUTTING EDGE THEORY AND APPLICATIONS OF MODERN REMOTE …

A composite divided scale model for radar backscatter from the ocean surface is
constructed. The primary scattering mechanism is assumed to be Bragg scattering for which …

In this paper, we introduce the combined active/passive (CAP) data product for the Soil
Moisture Active Passive mission. We develop the algorithms for a radiometer-only salinity …

With both the growing importance of integrating studies of air-sea interaction and the interest
in the general problem of global warming, the appearance of the second edition of this …

Wind vectors observed by the QuikSCAT/SeaWinds satellite mission are validated by
comparing with wind and wave data from ocean buoys. Effects of oceanographic and …

Unprecedented views of surface wind fields in tropical cyclones (hereafter TCs) are provided
by the European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS) C band scatterometer. Scatterometer …

A small-slope approximation (SSA) is used for numerical calculations of a radar
backscattering cross section of the ocean surface for both Ku-and C-bands for various wind …
