DopSCAT: A mission concept for simultaneous measurements of marine winds and surface currents

A radar scatterometer operates by transmitting a pulse of microwave energy toward the ocean's surface and measuring the normalized (per‐unit‐surface) radar backscatter coefficient (σ°). The primary application of scatterometry is the measurement of near‐surface ocean winds. By combining σ° meas...
