Ocean wind and wave parameters can be measured by in-situ sensors such as
anemometers and buoys. Since the 1980s, X-band marine radar has evolved as one of the …

Strengths and weakness of remotely sensed winds are discussed, along with the current
capabilities for remotely sensing winds and stress. Future missions are briefly mentioned …

This paper presents a first attempt to analyze C‐band RADARSAT‐2 measurements of the
normalized radar cross sections (NRCS) in quad‐polarization acquisition mode (HH, VV …

The global availability of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wave mode data from the European
Remote Sensing (ERS) satellites ERS-1 and ERS-2, as well as ENVISAT, allows for the …

Sea wind and sea state estimation by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements is a
topic of relevance both on the scientific and user side. The new European Space Agency …

Using accurate inputs of wind speed is crucial in wind resource assessment, as predicted
power is proportional to the wind speed cubed. First, wind speeds retrieved from a series of …

The dependency of radar backscatter on the surface wind field is investigated using a
nautical X‐band radar operating at grazing incidence and horizontal polarization in transmit …

A methodology for retrieving high-resolution ocean surface wind fields from satellite-borne
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is introduced and validated. The algorithms developed …

This paper describes two algorithms for the retrieval of high-resolution wind and wave fields
from radar-image sequences acquired by a marine X-band radar. The wind-field retrieval …

Studies show that synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has the capability of providing high-
resolution (sub-kilometer) sea surface wind fields. This is very useful for applications where …
