Inferring Atmospheric Turbulence Structure Using Synthetic Aperture Radar Images of the Ocean Surface

Abstract

My long-term goal is advance our abilities to remotely sense the properties of the marine atmospheric boundary layer, including mean wind speed and direction, the depth of the boundary layer, and the spatial distribution of atmospheric turbulence and associated fluxes, using synthetic aperture radar (SAR).
