Imaging Ocean Waves with SAR, a SAR Ocean Wave Algorithm Development Program.

Abstract

Four principal activities are discussed in this report. They include: (1) SAR geometric distortion and an optical technique to correct these distortions, (2) a digital spectral estimation package designed specifically for SAR ocean wave data, (3) determination of wave height from SAR data, and (4) examination of the mechanism involved in SAR imaging of ocean waves.
