ENVISAT ASAR measurements of marine parameters
The European satellite ENVISAT to be launched in January 2002, carries several new radar instruments, which are well suited for oceanographic measurements. This paper gives an overview of different oceanographic applications of active microwave radar data. Studies on wind and sea ice parameter retri...
