A Detailed Study of the Effect of Breaking Waves on Microwave Polarimetric Emissivities

Abstract

Our long-term goals are to provide polarimetric microwave emissivities data that can be used to test models for predicting the microwave electromagnetic response of a foam-covered water surface and to develop better wind vector retrieval algorithms for satellite-mounted microwave radiometers.
