Effects of Rain on the Ocean Radar Backscatter at Near-Nadir Incidence Angles: Insights From the Ku-Band SWIM/CFOSAT Under Low to Strong Wind Observations

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing
The surface wave investigation and monitoring (SWIM) instrument, onboard China and France Oceanography Satellite (CFOSAT), is a Ku-band real-aperture radar, with six beams that illuminate the ocean surface at near-nadir incidences ranging from 0° to 10°.

Simulation and retrieval of CFOSAT at whitecap sea

2016 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS), 2016
Stepped-Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) measurements and Precipitation Radar (PR) data on tropical rainfall measuring mission (TRMM) are collocated to acquire the normalized radar cross sections (NRCS) at low incidence angles. At the same time, the whitecap coverages are concluded from averaging previous results.
