Measurements of Ocean Waves and Surface Features using Polarimetric SAR.

摘要

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.
