Enhanced-resolution reconstruction for the China-France Oceanography Satellite scatterometer
Geocarto International, 2023 The China-France Oceanography Satellite SCATterometer (CSCAT) can observe radar backscatter values on the same sea surface at multiple incidence angles, and is often used to estimate the ocean near-surface wind.

Submerged dunes and breakwater embayments mapped using wave inversions of shore-mounted marine X-Band radar data [PDF]
, 2010 Surveying very shallow coastal areas, particularly around coastal defences, can be a logistically difficult and time consuming process. A marine-radar based bathymetry mapping technique has been used to remotely map the embayments around a series of ...

Meteorological studies conducted by contract NONR 4071 (00) : final report [PDF]
, 1966 During April and August 1963 the Barbados Weather Modification Project made extensive use of whole-sky, time-lapse and conventional photography to investigate cloud and rain formation over tropical heat sources.

Coastal Oceanography Applications of Digital Image Data from Marine Radar
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2000 A marine radar attached to a digital image capture system has been adapted for deployment from shore sites. Optimum operating parameters have been identified in relation to the resolution and sampling capabilities of both the radar and the digitization system.

Societal Applications of HF Skywave Radar
Remote Sensing, 2022 After exploratory research in the 1950s, HF skywave ‘over-the-horizon’ radars (OTHR) were developed as operating systems in the 1960s for defence missions, notably the long-range detection of ballistic missiles, aircraft, and ships.

Sea state bias in altimeter sea level estimates determined by combining wave model and satellite data [PDF]
, 2010 This study documents a method for increasing the precision of satellite-derived sea level measurements. Results are achieved using an enhanced three-dimensional (3-D) sea state bias (SSB) correction model derived from both Jason-1 altimeter ocean ...

A new airborne system for simultaneous high-resolution ocean vector current and wind mapping: first demonstration of the SeaSTAR mission concept in the macrotidal Iroise Sea [PDF]
Ocean ScienceCoastal seas, shelf seas and marginal ice zones are dominated by small-scale ocean surface dynamic processes that play a vital role in the transport and exchange of climate-relevant properties such as carbon, heat, water and nutrients between land, ocean,
