The synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Doppler centroid shift has been demonstrated to contain geophysical information about sea surface wind, waves and current at an accuracy of 5 Hz and pixel spacing of 3.5 − 9 × 8 km2. This corresponds to a horizontal surface velocity of about 20 cm/s at 35◦ incidenc...
