The Seasat microwave instruments in historical perspective
Abstract
The R&D history of the four remote sensing instruments on Seasat: the scatterometer, radiometer, altimeter, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is reviewed. The characteristics and capabilities of each instrument are outlined. The successful performance of these instruments made possible the organization of a major new operational-demonstration satellite for the 1980s called NOSS (National Oceanic Satellite System).
