Polar Applications of Spaceborne Scatterometers. [PDF]
IEEE J Sel Top Appl Earth Obs Remote Sens, 2017 Wind scatterometers were originally developed for observation of near-surface winds over the ocean. They retrieve wind indirectly by measuring the normalized radar cross section (σo ) of the surface, and estimating the wind via a geophysical model function relating σo to the vector wind.
