Ku-band Radar Altimeter Surface Wind Speed Algorithm
An algorithm for the retrieval of surface wind speed from Ku-band altimeter backscatter coefficient is proposed. The algorithm was derived using two-month worth of ENVISAT altimeter backscatter data collocated with ECMWF model and buoy wind speeds. The algorithm was extensively verified for ENVISAT, ERS2 and Jason-1 altimeters. The algorithm performance is better than the “modified Chelton-Went...
متن کاملVector Modulator for W -Band Software Radar Techniques
Direct-carrier modulation is an attractive technique for low-cost high-performance radar transceivers. In this paper, it is shown that, when the technique is applied to a generic homodyne radar architecture, the signaling waveform can be software adapted without requiring any hardware modifications. The key circuit in this novel software radar is a -band monolithic – vector modulator employing ...

متن کاملCramér-Rao bounds for radar altimeter waveforms
The pseudo maximum likelihood estimator allows one to estimate the unknown parameters of Brown’s model for altimeter waveforms. However, the optimality of this estimator, for instance in terms of minimizing the mean square errors of the unknown parameters is not guarantied. Thus it is not clear whether there is some space for developing new estimators for the unknown parameters of altimetric si...
متن کاملIdentifying drizzle within marine stratus with W-band radar reflectivity
Airborne cloud radar and cloud microphysical data, collected in summertime stratus clouds off the Oregon coast, are analyzed to obtain an empirical threshold radar reflectivity above which drizzle can be expected in warm marine stratus. Such clouds, which are prevalent over the eastern subtropical oceans, have a profound impact on global climate. This study finds that the threshold reflectivity...
