Cross Sea Detection Based on Synthetic Aperture Radar (sar) Data and Numerical Wave Model (wam)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present paper is about the detection of cross seas based on ERS-2/SAR wave mode data and comparison to WAM model. A case of cross seas observed by ERS-2/SAR was analyzed for its generation and development by wave mode data together with the WAM model two-dimensional (2-D) spectra. The sea surface elevation is estimated from these wave mode data with cross sea features using a CMOD type tilt algorithm. An effective method to remove the speckle noise from SAR wave mode images is introduced, too, in order to get better results of sea surface elevation.

On the Retrieval of Significant Wave Heights from Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (ERS-SAR) using the Max-Planck Institut (MPI) Algorithm
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) onboard satellites is the only source of directional wave spectra with continuous and global coverage. Millions of SAR Wave Mode (SWM) imagettes have been acquired since the launch in the early 1990’s of the first European Remote Sensing Satellite ERS-1 and its successors ERS-2 and ENVISAT, which has opened up many possibilities specially for wave data assimilatio...
متن کاملApplication of Facet Scattering Model in SAR Imaging of Sea Surface Waves with Kelvin Wake
The principal purpose of this work is the simulation of the ship wake in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging based on a facet scattering model. The hydrodynamic model of the surface waves mainly considers the Kelvin wake waves and the wind driven waves. For the prediction of radar returns from the composite surface, the semi-deterministic facet scattering model (SDFSM) is proposed, which is ...
متن کاملAn Empirical Imaging Model for Sar Ocean Wave Measurements
Continuous ocean wave measurements on a global basis are still only possible using spaceborne synthetic aperture radar. For more than a decade the European satellites ERS-1 and ERS-2 have acquired about 1500 globally distributed SAR images dayly. ENVISAT is capable of recording some 3000 imagettes. However strong uncertainties in the SAR ocean wave imaging models used so far are well known. The...

متن کاملOptimization Of Wind and Wave Fields for Typical Marine Radar Using Synthetic Aperture Method
This paper deals with the use of the wave-radar for sea-state monitoring. The radar used here is popular as marine radar. SEA STATE monitoring by X-band Mare Radar system is becoming increasingly interesting, also due to its spatial resolution, which is much higher than the resolution of the relatively more common high-frequency (HF) coastal radars. In addition, compared to HF radar, Xband rada...
