Description
Summary:focused on providing an overview of the tools now available within the international community for utilizing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems to characterize the marine environment. Applications were specifically focused on wind, waves, sea ice, and currents. This paper provides an overview of the discussions from that workshop and proposes the next steps along the road of achieving true operational usage of SAR sensors for monitoring the marine environment. 1.
