Microwave backscatter from the sea surface / K.D. Ward.
Title: | Microwave backscatter from the sea surface / K.D. Ward. |
Author(s): | Ward, K. D. |
Date: | 1986. |
Publisher: | Oxford: Clarendon Press |
In: | Wave propagation and scattering; based on lectures at a conference organized by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and held at the University of Cambridge, 5-6 April 1984. (1986.), |
Abstract: | Presents brief survey of application of microwave sea backscatter to radar, pointing out virtues and limitations of various approaches. Introduces compound K-distribution model for statistics; application demonstrated with empirical relationship for variations of statistics with radar and environmental parameters and discussion of signal processing performance. Of interest to sea-ice research. |
Notes: | In: Wave propagation and scattering; based on lectures at a conference organized by the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and held at the University of Cambridge, 5-6 April 1984 / B.J. Uscinski, ed. |
