Ocean Feature Monitoring with Wide Swath Synthetic Aperture Radar
y providing better spatial coverage, wide swath synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can offer a more complete picture of various mesoscale ocean features. With better temporal coverage, SAR also supplies crucial information for the tracking and monitoring of these features using, for instance, the technique of two-dimensional wavelet analysis. Examples presented in this article of fronts in the Gulf...
متن کاملAdaptive Digital Beam-Forming Algorithm for High-Resolution, Wide-Swath Synthetic Aperture Radar
Intensive research is currently ongoing in the field of Smart Multi-Aperture Radar Techniques (SMART) for high-resolution wide-swath Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging. This work investigates the possibility of applying direction of arrival estimation methods to spaceborne SMART SAR systems, that employ receive beam steering. A novel algorithm based on the actual spatial distribution of the...
متن کاملA New Spaceborne Burst Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging Mode for Wide Swath Coverage
This paper presents a new spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) burst mode named “Extended Terrain Observation by Progressive Scans (ETOPS)” for wide swath imaged coverage. This scheme extends the imaging performance of the conventional Terrain Observation by Progressive Scans (TOPS) mode with a very limited azimuth beam steering capability. Compared with the TOPS mode with the same azimuth...
متن کاملWind Energy Mapping Using Synthetic Aperture Radar
Wind energy off-shore is gaining much interest due to the high wind power potentials. The need is to map wind climatology and regional wind patterns in coastal regions. In the WEMSAR (Wind Energy Mapping using Synthetic Aperture Radar) project three European sites will be covered near Norway, Denmark and Italy. Data to be used are from the ERS-2 C-band scatterometer with a 50 km resolution, fro...
متن کاملMapping by Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (sar)
Using advanced SAR data from the Danish airborne SAR, EMISAR, a research project was initiated in 1998 as a collaboration between the Technical University of Denmark and the Danish National Survey and Cadastre to investigate the potential of using SAR data for production and updating of cartographic maps. The ultimate objective of the research is to be able to perform quickly and efficiently co...
