Simultaneous Measurement of Ocean Winds and Waves with an Airborne Coherent Real Aperture Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A coherent, X-band airborne radar has been developed to measure wind speed and direction simultaneously with directional wave spectra on the ocean. The coherent real aperture radar (CORAR) measures received power, mean ...
The Naval Research Laboratory's Air-Sea Interaction Blimp Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rationale is given for a unique experiment in which microwave scatterometer and surface flux measurements are to be made from a blimp to develop an improved scatterometer model function. A principal goal of the effort ...
Comparison of Scatterometer and Radiometer Wind Vector Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coincident measurements with a 37-GHz polarimetric radiometer and a 10-GHz scatterometer during the Coastal Ocean Probing Experiment (COPE) in September and October of 1995 offered a unique opportunity to compare their ...
Measurements of the Marine Boundary Layer from an Airship
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In 1992 and 1993, the authors made measurements of the marine boundary layer off the coast of Oregon from an airship. In 1992, these measurements consisted of coherent microwave backscatter measurements at Ku band taken ...
