Sea Surface Wind Retrievals from SIR-C/X-SAR Data: A Revisit
The Geophysical Model Function (GMF) XMOD1 provides a linear algorithm for sea surface wind field retrievals for the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR).

ANALYTICAL FORMULAE FOR RADAR CROSS SECTION OF FLAT PLATES IN NEAR FIELD AND NORMAL INCIDENCE [PDF]
Radar Cross Section is most of the time defined in far field. In that case, RCS is totally independent of the range between the radar and the target. However, in several kinds of military scenario, it can be more realistic to deal with the target nearfield scattering characteristics.

The radar signature of the Wind Lens: a less disruptive wind turbine? [PDF]
We study the radar signature of a new type of wind turbine, named the Wind Lens. This design includes a flanged shroud around the turbine which concentrates the wind flow past the turbine blades and hence improves the efficiency.

Confinement‐Induced Donnan Potential Enables Sealed Hydrovoltaic Power From Microliter Water
An ultrathin MXene/cellulose nanofiber (CNF) nanochannel‐based hydrovoltaic generator produces sustained direct current (DC) from a single microliter droplet under sealed operation. Asymmetric nanochannel confinement establishes a persistent ion gradient and a confinement‐induced Donnan potential, harvesting the interfacial free energy released upon ...

A new interpretation of multifrequency/multipolarization radar signatures of the Gulf Stream front
Radar signatures which are observed on SIR-C/X-SAR multifrequency/multipolarization synthetic aperture radar images of the Gulf Stream off the U.S. east coast are compared with results of simulations with a numerical radar imaging model. Based on in situ

Sea Ice Detection Method Using the Dependence of the Radar Cross-Section on the Incidence Angle
The method for sea ice detection using the data from the Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) onboard the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite data is suggested. The approach is based on the analysis of the shape of normalized radar cross-

Validation of the Effective Resolution of SMAP Enhanced Resolution Backscatter Products
NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission originally included both passive and active L-band measurement capabilities. It was the first satellite instrument to provide global L-band radar observations of normalized radar cross section ...

Introducing Equivalent Radar Cross Section – A First Step Toward new Radiometric Requirement Definitions [PDF]
Stringent radiometric SAR system requirements often significantly shape the design and cost of modern SAR systems. Yet the wording in current requirement documents is ambiguous, and a diligent conformance assessment at the end of project phases currently

UCST‐Driven Shape Morphing in Digital Light Processing 4D‐Printed Hydrogels
A DLP‐printable UCST hydrogel based on poly(acrylic acid‐co‐acrylamide) enables reversible thermally induced expansion and 4D shape morphing. Rational control of composition, porosity, and multimaterial architecture enables predictable 4D shape morphing through differential swelling and localized actuation, opening new opportunities for high‐resolution
