This paper reviews basic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) theory of ocean wave imaging
mechanisms, using both known work and recent experimental and theoretical results from …

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 …

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 …

Backscattering experiments at microwave frequencies were conducted off the west coast of
Scotland in the summer of 1991. Using a dual‐polarization, eight‐frequency, X band …

The principle of conservation of action is applied to derive a spectral form for short, wind‐
generated waves on the ocean which is valid to second order in the slopes of longer surface …

海杂波是影响海用雷达目标探测性能的主要制约因素之一, 其物理机理复杂, 影响因素众多,
且非高斯, 非平稳特性显著, 因此海杂波特性认知研究是一项极其复杂的系统工程 …

Radars operating from ships, shore installations, and low-flying aircraft inevitably view the
sea at low grazing angles from zero to a few degrees. Under these conditions it is expected …

This book is dedicated to studying the ocean with radar tools, in particular, with space
radars. Being intended mainly for the scientists preoccupied with the problem (as well as …

High-resolution dual-polarization X-band images of the ocean surface were obtained at a
grazing angle of about 3/spl deg/. Area extensive imaging allowed us to study the …

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 …
