Ocean wind and wave parameters can be measured by in-situ sensors such as
anemometers and buoys. Since the 1980s, X-band marine radar has evolved as one of the …

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 …

Long‐term changes in ocean surface waves are relevant to society and climate research.
Significant wave height climatologies and trends over 1992–2017 are intercompared in four …

This paper describes the C-band multi-polarization Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensor
for the Gaofen-3 (GF-3) mission. Based on the requirement analysis, the design of working …

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 …

The first rotating fan beam scatterometer onboard China-France Oceanography Satellite
(CFOSAT) was successfully launched on October 29, 2018. CFOSAT SCATterometer …

We present an efficient algorithm for retrieving the ocean-surface wind vector from C-band
Radar Satellite RADARSAT-2 fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) …

In this study a new empirical approach to retrieve integral ocean wave parameters from
synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is presented. The idea behind this computationally …

Sea ice in the Southern Ocean has expanded over most of the past 20 y, but the decline in
sea ice since 2016 has taken experts by surprise. This recent evolution highlights the poor …

A new geophysical model function (GMF), called C_SARMOD2, has been developed to
relate high-resolution C-band normalized radar cross section (NRCS), acquired in VV …
