An automated algorithm intended for operational use is developed and tested for estimating wind speed and direction using ERS-1 SAR imagery. The wind direction comes from the orientation of low frequency, linear signatures in the SAR imagery that the authors believe are manifestations of roll vortices within the planetary boundary layer. The wind direction thus has inherently a 180° ambiguity since only a single SAR image is used. Wind speed is estimated by using a new algorithm that utilizes both the estimated wind direction and σ 0 values to invert radar cross section models. The authors show that: 1) on average the direction of the roll vortices signatures is approximately 11° to the right of the surface wind direction and can be used to estimate the surface wind direction to within ±19° and 2) utilizing these estimated wind directions from the SAR imagery subsequently improves wind speed estimation, generating errors of approximately ±1.2 m/s, for ERS-1 SAR data collected during the Norwegian Continental Shelf Experiment in 1991 相似文献

The ocean surface wind field is observed from space operationally using scatterometry. The European Space Agency's (ESAs) ERS-1 satellite scatterometer routinely produces a wind product that is assimilated into forecast models. Scatterometry cannot give accurate wind estimates close to land, however, because the field of view of a spaceborne scatterometer is on the order of 50 km. Side lobe contamination, due to the large contrast in backscatter between land and water, compounds the problem. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) can provide wind speed and direction estimates on a finer scale, so that high-resolution wind fields can be constructed near shore. An algorithm has been developed that uses the spectral expression of wind in SAR imagery to estimate wind direction and calibrated backscatter to estimate wind strength. Three versions, based on C-band scatterometer algorithms, are evaluated for accuracy in potential operational use. Algorithm estimates are compared with wind measurements from buoys in the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Strait, and off the Pacific Northwest coast by using a data set of 61 near-coincident buoy and ERS-1 SAR observations. Representative figures for the accuracy of the algorithm are ±2 m/s for wind speed and ±37° for wind direction at a 25-km spatial resolution 相似文献

The authors show that the modified beta distribution function is an adequate model for the underlying distribution function of the random variable used to model synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) image data. The model represents a range of SAR returns from different sea ice types by using a simple change in its parameter. The ability is explained by describing the distribution functions in, width. modified skewness space where the modified beta function covers a region while the other, more common, distribution functions cover only a curve. A procedure for comparing simple distribution functions with analytical functions specifically for digitized SAR data is presented 相似文献
