Multi-frequency and interferometric SAR mapping of wind-driven mesoscale oceanic processes off northern California and in the lee of the island of Hawaii

摘要

The multi-frequency polarimetric and interferometric Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (AirSAR) aboard NASA's DC-8 aircraft was used in summer of 1989 and 1990 to study coastal upwelling and island upwelling mesoscale processes, off California and in the lee of Hawaii.
