Spatial Characteristics of Short Wind Waves in the Ocean

Abstract

The long-term goal is to study the surface roughness structure for: (1) understanding the influence on the backscatter of radars in remote sensing applications, and (2) applying the knowledge to the interpretation of wind, wave, and current parameters obtained from remote sensing techniques.
