Oceanic Variables extracted from Along-Track Interferometric SAR Data
The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data are considered to contain the greatest amount of information among various microwave techniques developed for measuring ocean variables from aircraft or satellites. They have the potential of measuring wavelength, wave direction and wave height of the ocean waves. But, it is difficult to retrieve significant ocean wave heights and surface current from con...
متن کاملWavemill: a new mission for high-resolution mapping of total ocean surface current vectors
Synoptic maps of total ocean surface currents from space are needed to improve parameterisations of oceanic submesoscale dynamics and represent their impact on global ocean circulation, air-sea exchanges and the marine ecosystem. Wavemill is a hybrid interferometric SAR instrument that seeks to deliver high-resolution high-accuracy maps of ocean surface current vectors. It measures the total oc...
متن کاملCFOSAT: A new Chinese-French satellite for joint observations of ocean wind vector and directional spectra of ocean waves
CFOSAT (the China France Oceanography Satellite) is a joint mission from the Chinese and French Space Agencies, devoted to the observation ocean surface wind and waves so as to improve wind and wave forecast for marine meteorology, ocean dynamics modeling and prediction, climate variability knowledge, fundamental knowledge of surface processes. Currently under Phase D (manufacturing phase), the...
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 کاملDual-beam interferometry for ocean surface current vector mapping
The recent use of along-track interferometry (ATI) in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has shown promise for synoptic measurement of ocean surface currents. ATI-SARs have been used to estimate wave fields, currents, and current features. This paper describes and analyzes a dual-beam along-track interferometer to provide spatially resolved vector surface velocity estimates with a single pass of an...
