The present article is an introductory paper in this special issue on synthetic aperture radar
(SAR). A short review is presented on the recent trend and development of SAR and related …

Over the past few years, recognition of the importance of the coastal zone has led to the
establishment of international programmes for monitoring the coastal zone environment and …

The effect of large offshore wind farms on the local wind climate is studied using satellite
synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Wind maps are derived from a total of 30 ERS-2 SAR scenes …

Currently, the retrieval of wind fields from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images suffers from
inadequate knowledge of the wind direction. State-of-the-art spectral analysis works fine on …

The high spatial resolution and large coverage of satellite-based synthetic aperture radars
(SAR) offers a unique opportunity to derive mesoscale wind fields over the ocean surface …

As part of the Alaska synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Demonstration Project in 1999 and
2000, wide-swath RADARSAT SAR imagery has been acquired on a regular basis in the …

Tip Jets and Barrier Winds: A QuikSCAT Climatology of High Wind Speed Events around
Greenland in: Journal of Climate Volume 18 Issue 18 (2005) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

This paper presents an analysis of measurements of the normalized radar cross-section
(NRCS) in vertical and horizontal polarizations over the ocean obtained from the C-band …

Dans cet article, on discute d'un algorithme conçu pour extraire les champs de vent à haute
résolution à partir des données du capteur ScanSAR (scanning synthetic aperture radar) …

Using accurate inputs of wind speed is crucial in wind resource assessment, as predicted
power is proportional to the wind speed cubed. First, wind speeds retrieved from a series of …
