Ocean Wind Speed Climatology from Spaceborne SAR Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: e synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery can make high-resolution (≤500 m) ocean wind speed measurements. The authors anticipate reprocessing the full decade and a half of Radarsat-1 SAR imagery and generating a SAR wind ...
Coexistence of Atmospheric Gravity Waves and Boundary Layer Rolls Observed by SAR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oth atmospheric gravity waves (AGW) and marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) rolls are simultaneously observed on an Environmental Satellite (Envisat) advanced synthetic aperture radar (ASAR) image acquired along the ...
Using Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar to Improve Marine Surface Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ever-changing weather and lack of in situ data in the Bering Sea warrants experimentation with new meteorological observing systems for this region. Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is well suited for observing ...
Synthetic Aperture Radar as a Tool for Investigating Polar Mesoscale Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Polar mesoscale cyclones are intense vortices that form in cold, marine air masses poleward of major jet streams and frontal zones. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) should be considered as a potential tool for the study of ...
Tropical Cyclone Morphology from Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: the Canadian Space Agency sponsored the Radarsat Hurricane Applications Project (RHAP), for researching new developments in the application of Radarsat-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and innovative mapping approaches ...
