Microwave Radiometry of the Ocean.
Abstract
The work done under this contract has established a firmer foundation for the microwave part of the hypothesis proposed by Williams (1969). The authors determined the emissivities of foam samples at 3 cm, and confirmed from photographic analysis that there is some correlation between wind speed and foam coverage on the ocean. It is possible, and in fact likely, that there exists a family of such relationships, depending primarily on sea temperature, air temperature, and the degree of development of the sea. Quarterly progress reports for the period August, 1968 to February, 1971 are included.
