TL;DR: In this paper, the Stokes matrix, computed by averaging successive realizations of the polarization scattering matrix, is used to obtain polarization signatures and to determine the polarization dependence of the clutter.

TL;DR: The utility of applying PP tools to multiband and polarization SAR data is demonstrated and an indication of the quality of classification one can achieve with moderately high spatial resolution SAR data using a light plane platform is given.

TL;DR: High-resolution, dual-polarized Doppler radar measurements of oceanic fronts made from a shipborne platform along the northern boundary of the Gulf Stream during the second Office of Naval Research/NRL High Resolution Remote Sensing Experiment (HIRES-II) demonstrate the potential of dual- polarized radars operating in the low grazing angle regime for remotely sensing the current variability and the occurrence of wave breaking across Oceanic fronts.

TL;DR: In this article, a number of techniques for estimating the Doppler velocity time series from coherent sea surface scattering measurements are compared by observing their behaviour with computer simulated signals. And the suitability of each of these methods for estimating magnitude, phase and power spectrum of the time series is investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present fully polarimetric radar scattering measurements of low-grazing angle sea clutter using a high range resolution X-band polarimeter operated from a shore site overlooking the Chesapeake Bay.
