Impact of Sea State on Wind Retrieval From Sentinel-1 Wave Mode Data

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2019
High-resolution wind field is essential to investigate local winds variability over the global ocean. Space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can provide wind observations up to hundreds of meters. Although SAR wind retrieval algorithms have been widely studied, improvements are still required.

Retrieval of Sea Surface Wind Speeds From Gaofen-3 Full Polarimetric Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
In this paper, the sea surface wind speed (SSWS) retrieval from Gaofen-3 (GF-3) quad-polarization stripmap (QPS) data in vertical-vertical (VV), horizontal-horizontal (HH), and vertical-horizontal (VH) polarizations is investigated in detail based on 3170 scenes acquired from October 2016 to May 2018.

LG-Mod Multi-Scale Approach for Sar Sea Surface Wind Directions Retrieval

IGARSS 2018 - 2018 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2018
A first attempt to adopt an automated selection of optimal processing local scales within the LG- Mod algorithm is presented. Aimed at Sea Surface Wind (SSW) directions retrieval from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, the novel LG-Mod multi-scale analysis mainly relies on an accuracy maximization criterion, based on the use of the marginal error ...

WindSat ocean surface wind vector and sea surface temperature retrievals

Proceedings of OCEANS 2005 MTS/IEEE, 2005
WindSat is the first spaceborne fully polarimetric microwave radiometer. We describe a nonlinear optimization algorithm for WindSat wind vector and sea surface temperature retrievals. The algorithm simultaneously retrieves the atmospheric water vapor and cloud liquid water, sea surface temperature and the ocean surface wind vector that matches our ...

Sea Surface Wind Speed Retrieval From Textures in Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2022
Wind-induced oriented textures (WIOTs) are commonly used to retrieve sea surface wind directions from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. In this study, we found that WIOTs are also related to sea surface wind speeds (SSWSs). The entropy values in the gray-level cooccurrence matrices (GLCMs) for SAR images containing WIOTs will become steady with ...

The Performance of Dual-Frequency Polarimetric Scatterometer in Sea Surface Wind Retrieval

Journal of Ocean University of China, 2019
The wind retrieval performance of HY-2A scanning scatterometer operating at Ku-band in HH and VV polarizations has been well evaluated in the wind speed range of 0–25 ms−1. In order to obtain more accurate ocean wind field, a potential extension of dual-frequency (C-band and Ku-band) polarimetric measurements is investigated for both low and very high ...

Variational retrieval of sea surface wind vectors using a polarimetric approach

Advances in Space Research, 2004
Abstract This study presents one-dimension variational retrieval of sea surface wind vectors using simulated microwave polarimetric measurements at 10.7, 18.7, and 37 GHz. The algorithm only requires four Stokes components at a single frequency; and therefore runs very efficiently.

Combined Active/Passive Retrievals of Ocean Vector Wind and Sea Surface Salinity With SMAP

IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2016
In this paper, we introduce the combined active/passive (CAP) data product for the Soil Moisture Active Passive mission. We develop the algorithms for a radiometer-only salinity product, a radar-only vector wind product, and a CAP vector wind and salinity product.
