Analysis of Data-Derived SeaWinds Normalized Radar Cross-Section Noise
Remote Sensing, 2022 The normalized standard deviation (Kp) of the noise that affects scatterometer Normalized Radar Cross-Sections (σ0s) plays a key role in the ocean and more in particular coastal wind retrieval procedures and the a posteriori quality control.

Importance of the sea surface curvature to interpret the normalized radar cross section [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2007 Asymptotic models (small perturbation and small slope approximation at first‐order, Kirchhoff approximation or two‐scale model) used to predict the normalized radar cross section of the sea surface generally fail to reproduce in detail backscatter radar measurements. In particular, the predicted polarization ratio versus incidence and azimuth angles is

Normalized radar cross section of the sea for backscatter: 1. Mean levels [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2010 The normalized radar cross section of the sea for backscatter, σo, is investigated for incidence angles between 0° and 89° using data collected over more than two decades. The most recent measurements were made from several ships using a coherent, dual‐polarized, X band radar.

A semiempirical model of the normalized radar cross-section of the sea surface 1. Background model [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2003 Multiscale composite models based on the Bragg theory are widely used to study the normalized radar cross‐section (NRCS) over the sea surface. However, these models are not able to correctly reproduce the NRCS in all configurations and wind wave conditions.

A semiempirical model of the normalized radar cross section of the sea surface, 2. Radar modulation transfer function [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2003 Multiscale composite models based on the Bragg theory are widely used to study the normalized radar cross section (NRCS) over the sea surface. However, these models are not able to correctly reproduce the NRCS in all configurations. In particular, even if they may provide consistent results for vertical transmit and receive (VV) polarization, they fail

Reconstruction of the Normalized Radar Cross Section Field From GNSS-R Delay-Doppler Map
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2014 An effective approach to reconstruct the normalized radar cross section (NRCS) image from Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R) Delay-Doppler Map (DDM) is proposed. It is physically based on the truncated singular value decomposition (TSVD), properly extended to the 2-D case (2-D TSVD).

Dependence of the normalized radar cross section of water waves on Bragg wavelength-wind speed sensitivity [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1996 Measurements of the normalized radar cross section (/spl sigma//spl deg/) made by the YSCAT ultrawideband scatterometer during an extended deployment on the Canada Centre for Inland Waters (CCIW) Research Tower located at Lake Ontario are analyzed and compared with anemometer wind measurements to study the sensitivity of /spl sigma//spl deg/ to the ...
