Surface Wave Investigation and Monitoring (SWIM) will be launched on board the Chinese French Ocean SATellite (CFOSAT) in 2018. This paper proposes a joint method to simultaneously retrieve wave spectra at different scales from spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and CFOSAT SWIM wave spectrometer data. The method combines the output from the two different sensors to overcome retrieval limitations...
China launched two new spaceborne microwave sensors in August and September 2016. One is the C band multi-polarization high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) on board satellite GF-3. The other is the Ku band wide swath Interferometric Imaging Radar Altimeter (InIRA) on board space laboratory TG-2. This paper gives some preliminary results for the quantitative remote sensing of ocean winds...
As one of the most powerful air-sea interactions in the weather system, a typhoon usually accompanies with a wide range of heavy rainfall. Due to the influence of rainfall on the radar signal, the inversion precision of sea surface wind field from space-borne radar declines. In this paper, based on C band scatterometer rain effect model and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) rainfall backscattering model,...
The Interferometric Imaging Radar Altimeter (InIRA) is a new generation radar altimeter developed by China, which combines the function of interferometric radar altimeter and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). In this paper, we explored the retrieval method of wind speed from simulated InIRA echoes. The combined significant wave height (Hs) was first statistically derived from sea surface height (SSH),...
