High Resolution Remote Sensing of Ocean Wind and Wave Fields

Abstract

This project is part of a larger effort to use the high resolution capabilities of synthetic aperture radar to map variations in ocean surface wind and wave fields on spatial scales that are not currently resolved by other spaceborne systems such as scatterometers, radiometers, and altimeters.
