Multiscale composite models based on the Bragg theory are widely used to study the
normalized radar cross‐section (NRCS) over the sea surface. However, these models are …

Numerous case reports and regional studies on swell and wind sea events have been
documented during the past century. The global picture of these common oceanic …

A small-slope approximation (SSA) is used for numerical calculations of a radar
backscattering cross section of the ocean surface for both Ku-and C-bands for various wind …

Using colocated ASCAT and ECMWF winds, a careful global analysis of ENVISAT and
Sentinel‐1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements helps to refine, at medium …

Two empirical algorithms are developed for wave mode images measured from the synthetic
aperture radar aboard Sentinel‐1 A. The first method, called CWAVE_S1A, is an extension …

An effective methodology using satellite high-resolution polarized information to interpret
and quantitatively assess various surface ocean phenomena is suggested. Using a sample …

This paper presents a first attempt to analyze C‐band RADARSAT‐2 measurements of the
normalized radar cross sections (NRCS) in quad‐polarization acquisition mode (HH, VV …

A methodology is demonstrated to exploit the polarization sensitivity of high‐resolution radar
measurements to interpret and quantify upper ocean dynamics. This study particularly …

The physics of remote sensing sea surface measurements is still poorly understood under
severe weather conditions. Wind vector algorithms are usually developed for non …

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 …
