Investigation of Physics of Synthetic Aperture Radar in Ocean Remote Sensing Toward 84/86 Field Experiment. Volume 1. Data Summary and Early Results

Abstract

The mechanisms responsible for SAR imaging of the ocean surface are not adequately understood at present. Conflicting hypotheses have been proposed that remain without valid proof, because of lack of adequate data sets to test these hypotheses. The influence of environmental parameters has prevented extending relationships that were demonstrated under one set of conditions to another beyond the range used in formulating the relationships.
