Satellite radar scatterometry

Abstract

Questions of air-sea interaction are considered along with the theoretical results of an analysis of radar backscatter from the ocean and experimental measurements of radar backscatter. Scatterometer design specifications have been established based on user requirements of accuracy, swath width, resolution cell size, and a 100 km grid spacing of the measurements. The instrument errors associated with the fan beam mode of operation are shown in a graph.
