The Scatterometer Climate Record Pathfinder [PDF]
IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003 While originally designed for ocean wind measurement, radar scatterometers have proven to be very effective in monitoring land cover and ice conditions and in climate studies. The NASA Scatterometer Climate Record Pathfinder (SCP) project has generated a unique climate data record from the series of historic and ongoing scatterometer missions.

Aquarius Scatterometer Calibration
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2015 In this paper, we discuss the Aquarius scatterometer calibration, starting with the instrument calibration. We examine the stability of Aquarius as quantified using the loop-back power and estimated receiver gain to shown Aquarius has been extremely stable to order 0.1 dB since mission start.

ASCAT scatterometer ocean calibration
2007 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2007 A new scatterometer, the so-called Advanced scatterometer (ASCAT), onboard MetOp-A satellite was successfully launched on October 19 2006. During the commissioning phase one of the main goals is to accurately calibrate the instrument. The radar backscatter has been calibrated using three ground-based transponders in February 2008.
