A procedure is described for using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery to estimate two-
dimensional ocean wave slope-and height-variance spectra. The logic underpinning the …

A method is presented to derive two-dimensional sea surface elevation fields from complex
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data. Applied to spaceborne SAR data as acquired by …

An algorithm that extracts the directional ocean wave spectrum from synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) ocean image spectra is implemented and applied to spaceborne C-band SAR data …

When deriving a directional ocean wave spectrum from a synthetic-aperture radar (SAR)
image of the ocean surface, spectral analysis of the image data is a key step. In this paper, a …

There is an inherent 180 degrees ambiguity in the derived wave propagation direction when
using conventional spectral analysis techniques on standard synthetic aperture radar (SAR) …

We present a formalism for deriving the image of a scene and apply it to the case of an
ocean-wave surface. For a dominant wave, the optimum image is obtained when the …

A numerical model for predicting the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image of a moving
ocean surface is described, and results are presented for two SIR-B data sets collected off …

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image intensity spectra measured during the Shuttle Imaging
Radar‐B (SIR‐B) mission on October 6 and 8, 1984, over the North Sea are compared with …

Abstract The Grand Banks ERS‐1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wave spectra validation
experiment took place over a study site in which intensive in situ wind and wave …

Real and synthetic aperture radars have been used in recent years to image ocean surface
waves. Though wavelike patterns are often discernible on radar images, it is still not fully …
