Investigation of the Anisotropic Patterns in the Altimeter Backscatter Measurements Over Ocean Wave Surfaces

This article attempts to analyze the influence of the anisotropic effects of the ocean wave surface on SAR altimetry backscatter coefficient (Sigma-0) measurements, which has not been intensively addressed in publications. Data of Sentinel-3A, Cryosat-2, and Jason-3 altimeters allocated by the WW3 n...
