The RFSCAT(Rotating Fan-beam SCATterometer) is one of the two payloads of CFOSAT, the China-France Oceanography Satellite. It is a radar scatterometer designed to measure the electromagnetic back-scatter from wind roughened ocean surface. The operating frequency of the scatterometer is 13.256GHz (Ku-band) and has a swath about 1,000 kilometers. In this paper, an end-to-end data simulation system of...
Space-borne scatterometers are the main tools to retrieve wind vector over global oceans. However, wave breaking under high-wind condition has strong effects on scatterometer. In this paper, the effects of wave breaking on scatterometer normalized radar cross section (NRCS) were analyzed using a semi-empirical model. The results show that the wave breaking contributions are significant at moderate...
