Studies of Sea Surface Thermal Emission with the Small Slope Approximation

Abstract

The long term goals of this project involve developing improved understanding of sea surface thermal emission through the development and application of both analytical and numerical methods for electromagnetics and hydrodynamics. New insights regarding these phenomena can then be applied to improve microwave passive remote sensing of the ocean surface. Improving the efficiency of currently applied analytical models is also a project goal, so that use of these models in retrieval algorithms becomes more practical.
