Measurements of Ocean Waves and Surface Features using Polarimetric SAR
نویسنده
چکیده
Studies have shown that polarimetric SAR may be used to measure terrain slopes and surface roughness. The first goal is to extend these measurement concepts here to study slope distribution changes generated by ocean wave-current interactions such as the surface manifestations of internal waves [1]. These changes are then, in turn, used to estimate the perturbations in the ambient slope distribution that are directly caused by the ocean surface feature.

Classification of polarimetric radar images based on SVM and BGSA
Classification of land cover is one of the most important applications of radar polarimetry images. The purpose of image classification is to classify image pixels into different classes based on vector properties of the extractor. Radar imaging systems provide useful information about ground cover by using a wide range of electromagnetic waves to image the Earthchr('39')s surface. The purpose ...
متن کاملStudies of Ocean’s Scattering Properties Based on Airsar Data
The scattering properties of ocean are studied based on the measured AIRSAR data in this paper from 3 different sides, which are statistical analysis of sea clutter, the variety trend of polarimetric characters with different incidence angle and ship-sea contrast. The statistical analysis base on KS test shows that the co-pol channels can be fitted well using K distribution under the incidence ...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Ocean Waves and Currents Using AIRSAR Along-Track Interferometry (ATI)
The phase information in along-track interferometry (ATI) SAR images is a measure of the Doppler shift of the backscattered signal and thus of the line-of-sight velocity of the scatterers. This interferometric velocity is the sum of the orbital motion of water particles from the swell, phase velocities of the Bragg waves, and ocean surface currents. While the advent of ATI SAR provided us with ...
متن کاملQuad-polarization SAR features of ocean currents
A methodology is demonstrated to exploit the polarization sensitivity of high-resolution radar measurements to interpret and quantify upper ocean dynamics. This study particularly illustrates the potential of quad-polarization synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements. The analysis relies on essential characteristics of the electromagnetic scattering mechanisms and hydrodynamical principles. ...
متن کاملOcean Wind and Current Retrievals Based on Satellite SAR Measurements in Conjunction with Buoy and HF Radar Data
A total of 168 fully polarimetric synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) images are selected together with the buoy measurements of ocean surface wind fields and high-frequency radar measurements of ocean surface currents. Our objective is to investigate the effect of the ocean currents on the retrieved SAR ocean surface wind fields. The results show that, compared to SAR wind fields that are retrieved...
