In this study, an atmospheric phenomenon, land breeze system, was observed on one image mode high resolution SAR image and one middle resolution optical image. WRF model was implemented with actual meteorological conditions as inputs to successfully simulate this process with some understandable discrepancies. The overpass time of ASAR and MODIS are at 10:35 AM and 11:10 AM local time in Hainan. Long...
In this paper, we present the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observation of the detailed sea surface wind patterns associated with fetch in the Bohai Sea, China. We then implemented the WRF model to simulate the entire processes of this weather event. WRF model results show the dynamics and evolution of this event.
High spatial resolutions synthetic aperture radar (SAR) retrieved ocean surface wind field under actual conditions can be affected by several ocean surface features, such as artificial object, surface oil slicks and air-sea boundary layer stabilities etc. In this paper we present several case studies of those impacts, and a semi-empirical model to correct the air-sea boundary layer stabilities. We...
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observes the large-scale ocean surface wind field. With SAR instruments, we can actively monitor phenomena in the coastal ocean and marine atmospheric boundary layer at very high spatial resolution (on the order of tens of meters) in all weather conditions day and night. SAR observations are particularly useful in coastal regions where clouds are usually present, causing...
