Foundations for Innovative Application of Airborne Radars Measuring the Water Surface Backscattering Signature and Wind /

The 'wind vector' - wind speed and direction - is a main meteorological quantity and relevant for air-sea exchange processes. This book explores the use of several airborne microwave instruments, some of which are part of standard aircraft equipment, in determining the local wind vector ov...
