NRL UINSAR Field Campaign Report and Data Description

Abstract

This report documents deployments of the NRL UHF Interferometric SAR (UINSAR) in July 2017 and January-February 2018. The UINSAR antenna switching configuration, filename conventions, flight geometry, and flight tracks are documented, along with plots of contemporaneous meteorological and oceanographic measurements collected by NOAA buoys located close to the UINSAR collection sites. It is intended to both support NRLs internal analysis of the extensive, unique UHF SAR database collected during these deployments as well as to facilitate collaborative analysis with outside investigators.
