This paper presents a study to demonstrate the potential of a spaceborne K/sub u/-band scatterometer to monitor global snow cover.
The SeaWinds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT spacecraft has been operating since August 1999 to provide global mapping of ocean winds.
An L-band radiometer-radar concept has been studied for spaceborne remote sensing of land surface wetness, freeze-thaw state, and ocean surface salinity.

There has been a question on whether it is possible to measure the surface wind speeds of tropical cyclones with a spaceborne Ku-band scatterometer.
To aid in calibrating and monitoring the performance of the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT), a calibration ground station(CGS) was operated in White Sands, New Mexico from mid November 1996 through February 1997.
The Ku-band dual-polarized backscatter signatures of ocean surfaces are described in this article with the airborne scatterometer measurements collected in the Hurricane Ocean Wind Experiment in September 1997.
The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the NSCAT instrument and sigma-0 computation, and to describe the process and the results of an intensive post-launch verification, calibration, and validation effort.
SeaWinds-1B is an spaceborne instrument, under design at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, to accurately measure the speed and direction of ocean surface winds at high resolutions.
