On the Optimal Design of Doppler Scatterometers [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2018 Pencil-beam Doppler scatterometers are a promising remote sensing tool for measuring ocean vector winds and currents from space. While several point designs exist in the literature, these designs have been constrained by the hardware they inherited, and the design is sub-optimal.

Global Drag-Coefficient Estimates From Scatterometer Wind and Wave Steepness
, 2011 A neural-network model was developed to retrieve the wave steepness (delta), which was used to represent the sea state (particularly wave state), from the European Remote Sensing (ERS) scatterometer onboard ERS-1/2.
