A Rotating Knife-beam Altimeter for Wide-swath Remote Sensing of Ocean: Wind and Waves

A Rotating Knife-beam Altimeter for Wide-swath Remote Sensing of Ocean: Wind and Waves

The use of a nadir altimeter radar with a rotating knife-beam antenna pattern isconsidered for improved measurements of the sea surface wind and wave parameters over awide swath. Theoretical calculations suggest the antenna beam rotating about the verticalaxis is able to provide wide swath of order...
