Active/Passive Remote Sensing of the Ocean Surface at Microwave Frequencies

Abstract

This report summarizes research activities and results obtained under grant N000l4-99-1-0627 "Active/Passive Remote Sensing of the Ocean Surface at Microwave Frequencies" for the period of performance April 13,1998 to April 12, 1999. This grant supported preliminary measurements of sea surface emission obtained with a Ka-band polarimetric radiometer in combination with Doppler radar measurements to characterize the surface wave field. Measurements were completed during April 1999 by the Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts.
