Applications of Synthetic Aperture Radar to Meteorology and Oceanography Command Operations

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to employ synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery of the sea surface as a marine meteorological research and forecasting tool. That is, we aim to use SAR to discover dynamical and morphological characteristics of microscale, mesoscale, and synoptic scale marine meteorological phenomena. We also aim to demonstrate how the fruits of our discovery can be used to aid marine meteorological analysts and forecasters
