Chapter 4. Microwave Scattering from the Sea
117 Chapter 4. Microwave Scattering from the SeaDonald R. ThompsonJohns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland IntroductionThere is at present considerable interest in achieving a better understanding of the physicsthat governs the Scattering of Microwave radiation from the sea. This interest is due in large partto the rapid advances in ocean remote sensing using Microwave techniques during the past twodecades or so. These advances were triggered by the extremely rich and varied data setscollected by Microwave sensors on numerous spaceborne satellite missions undertaken duringthis period. The Microwave instrumentation flown on these missions included synthetic apertureradar (SAR), wind scatterometers, and altimeters. Additional missions with advancedmicrowave sensors are planned for launch in the near future. As these missions proceed andanalysis of the data progresses, the operational use of Microwave radar for the estimation ofuseful geophysical parameters should become order to extract geophysical information from the data collected by microwavesensors, it is clear that one must understand not only the Scattering physics, but also surface wavehydrodynamics and the structure of the marine boundary layer.
