Numerical simulations of SAR microwave imaging of the Brazil current surface front

Abstract This paper analyzes the hydrodynamic and atmospheric instability modulation mechanisms which influence the Brazilian Current's (BC) thermal front signature in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Simulations were made using the M4S SAR imaging model. Two SAR images of the Brazilian S...
