Global wind speed retrieval from SAR
The global availability of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wave mode data from the European Remote Sensing (ERS) satellites ERS-1 and ERS-2, as well as ENVISAT, allows for the investigation of the wind field over the ocean on a global and continuous basis. For this purpose, 27 days of ERS-2 SAR wave mode data were processed, representing a total of 34 310 imagettes of size 10 km 5 km, available ...
متن کاملA Physically-based Model of Ocean Backscatter for Wind Speed Retrieval from Sar, Scatterometer and Altimeter
A comprehensive theoretical model of radar backscatter from the ocean surface is discussed. It combines alternative models of the interaction between the wind and the sea surface, and different descriptions of the ocean waveheight spectrum of wind seas, with two alternative scattering theories, namely the composite-surface model and the integral equation method. The effects of swell, limited fe...
متن کاملOn Surface Wind Speed Retrieval from Sar Imagery in West Pacific Ocean
With the development of climate change and global warming, more and more severe tropical storms, hurricanes and typhoons tend to emerge[nature], leading devastating threat and damage to human lives and social productions. Accurate forecasting of storm track and intensity is of vital importance to help evacuation and hence decrease losses. However, the accuracy of storm forecast heavily depends ...
متن کاملWind field structure and speed from Radarsat SAR images
It has been well established that Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images over the ocean can provide wind information over small spatial scales. SAR image data can be used quantitatively as an imaging scatterometer if the SAR is calibrated and a suitable wind retrieval model is available [Vachon & Dobson 1996; Wackerman et al. 1996; Fetterer et al. 1998]. Canada’s Radarsat SAR (C-band HH polarisa...
متن کاملComparison of Geophysical Model Functions for SAR Wind Speed Retrieval in Japanese Coastal Waters
This work discusses the accuracies of geophysical model functions (GMFs) for retrieval of sea surface wind speed from satellite-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images in Japanese coastal waters characterized by short fetches and variable atmospheric stability conditions. In situ observations from two validation sites, Hiratsuka and Shirahama, are used for comparison of the retrieved sea su...
