Investigation of multifrequency/multipolarization radar signatures of rain cells over the ocean using SIR‐C/X‐SAR data
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the radar signatures of rain cells over the ocean using multipolarization synthetic aperture radar images acquired from the space shuttle Endeavour during the spaceborne imaging radar-C/X-band SAR (SIR-SAR) missions in April and October 1994, and showed that the presently used wind speed retrieval algorithms for the scatterometers aboard the ERS and ADEOS satellites may yield biased wind fields if several rain cells lie within a scatterometer resolution cell.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare a number of radiative transfer models for atmospheric sounding in the millimeter and submillimeter wavelength range, check their consistency, and investigate their deviations from each other.

TL;DR: In this paper, a sea ice forecast system for ship route optimisation has been developed and was tested during this field campaign with the ice-strengthened research vessel RV Lance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classification of sediments on exposed tidal flats in the German Bight using multi-frequency radar data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Integral Equation Model (IEM) to predict the normalized radar cross-section (NRCS) of randomly rough dielectric surfaces.
