This paper represents a consensus on the state-of-the-art in wind retrieval using synthetic
aperture radar (SAR), after the SEASAR 2012 workshop “Advances in SAR Oceanography” …

A geophysical model function (GMF), which is denoted by XMOD2, is developed to retrieve
sea surface wind field from X-band TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X (TS-X/TD-X) data. In contrast to …

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 …

The L-band passive and active microwave geophysical model functions (GMFs) of ocean
surface winds from the Aquarius data are derived. The matchups of Aquarius data with the …

Abstract Knowledge of ice thickness and its distribution is of great interest to plan ship and
offshore operations in ice areas. It is also a major direct factor in climate change. However, it …

New field measurements of 2‐D wave number short wind wave spectra in the wavelength
range from few millimeters to few decimeters are reported and discussed. The measurement …

In order to achieve the required accuracy in sea surface salinity (SSS) measurements from L‐
band radiometers such as the Aquarius/SAC‐D or SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) …

The purpose of this study was to develop a method for retrieving the rain rate from C-band
(∼ 5.3 GHz) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images during tropical cyclones (TCs). Seven …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of sea surface waves as they
pass through oil slicks. The parameterized first-guess spectrum method (PFSM) theory …

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a useful instrument for monitoring typhoons, hurricanes,
and tropical cyclones from space. In this article, we summarize high wind-speed retrieval …
