Potential of high-resolution detection and retrieval of precipitation fields from X-band spaceborne synthetic aperture radar over land
X-band Synthetic Aperture Radars (X-SARs), able to image the Earth's surface at metric resolution, may provide a unique opportunity to measure rainfall over land with spatial resolution of about few hundred meters, due to the atmospheric moving-target degradation effects. This capability has be...
