One of the most difficult issues in wind measurement using microwave radar is the decreased or loss of sensitivity of the return signal in high winds. Recent analyses of wind speed, wave height, and wave period data from hurricane hunter missions show that surface waves inside hurricanes adhere to the nature of fetch- and duration-limited wind wave generation. Making use of this property, the hurricane...
The robust wind wave growth functions established with ideal fetch-limited and quasi-steady wind conditions (e.g., [11–13]; and references therein) have been observed to be applicable to wind generated waves under considerably more varying conditions, including hurricanes [1, 3, 4, 14, 15] and rapidly accelerating and decelerating wind fields such as those encountered in mountain gap winds [16–19].
