Title
Sea Surface Reflectivity Variation With Ocean Temperature at Ka-Band Observed Using Near-Nadir Satellite Radar Data.
Abstract
Satellite ocean radar data are used to assess the flat surface reflectivity for seawater at 36 GHz by comparison to an existing model for dielectric constant variation. Sea surface temperature (SST) is the dominant control, and results indicate a 14% variation in the normalized radar cross section (NRCS) at Ka-band (35.75 GHz) that is in close agreement with model prediction. Consistent results ar...
