SWIM on board CFOSAT is the first spaceborne, low incidence, rotating scatterometer,
aiming at measuring in near‐real time ocean waves spectra. With five off‐nadir beams at …

The article presents a joint analysis of wind and wave characteristics derived from Voluntary
Observing Ship (VOS) data and measurements of the innovative Ku‐band radar SWIM …

The total mean square slope (mss) of large-scale (in comparison with the scale of radar
wavelengths) ocean waves can describe the roughness of the ocean surface. This important …

The algorithm to retrieve wind speed in a wide swath from the normalized radar cross
section (NRCS) was developed for the data of Dual Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) …

Sea surface winds influence shipping, fisheries, and coastal projects. However, the current
sea surface wind forecast exhibits noticeable biases. This study introduces a deep learning …

The offshore waters of China are a typical monsoon− affected area where the significant
wave height (SWH) is strongly influenced by the different seasonal mean flow in winter and …

Climate data derived from long-term, multisource altimeter significant wave height (SWH)
measurements are more valuable than those obtained from a single altimeter source. Such …

Sea ice recognition is one of the main tasks for sea ice monitoring in the Arctic and is also
applied for the detection of other ocean phenomena. The Surface Wave Investigation and …

An algorithm to retrieve the wind speed within a wide swath from the normalized radar cross
section (NRCS) is developed for the data of Ku-band radar operating in scanning mode …

For the first time, co-located wind vectors and wave spectral characteristics are available
thanks to the French/Chinese CFOSAT mission, which includes a wind scatterometer SCAT …
