TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that for a relative small range of ocean wave parameters, the likelihood that the transfer function is linear increases as the direction of wave propagation approaches the range direction, as the wavelength increases, and as the wave height decreases.

TL;DR: In this paper, the shape invariance of the spectral shape is exploited in a wave prediction model by projecting the full transport equation for the two-dimensional spectral continuum onto two variables characterizing the energy and frequency scales of the spectrum.

TL;DR: Aircraft observations of the microwave emission from the wind-driven foam-covered Bering Sea substantiate earlier results and show that the combination of surface roughness and white water yields a significant microwave brightness temperature dependence on wind speed over a wide range of microwave wavelengths, with a decreasing dependence for wavelengths above 6 cm as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The first year of operation of the scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR) on board the Nimbus 7 satellite (launched in late October 1978) has been used to calculate, on a global basis, various geophysical parameters over open oceans, polar regions, and terrain this article.

TL;DR: A preliminary assessment has been made of the capability of the Seasat synthetic aperture radar to detect ocean waves, and agreement to within about – 15 percent in wavelength and about � 25� in wave direction is indicated.
