A novel physical paradigm is explored in this paper: synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) ocean speckle is informative. This paper experimentally analyzes the SAR ocean speckle intensity K-distribution model versus sea-surface wind field. It is shown that the normalized intensity moments of the K-distribution measured from actual C-band SAR data well fit the theoretical ones under different wind conditions, i.e., wind regime and relative SAR-wind azimuth direction. In addition, it is observed that the K-distribution shape parameter decreases as wind speed increases. A sensitivity of the K-distribution shape parameter on incidence angle and wind direction is also observed, where the largest variability is experienced at higher incidence angles and under crosswind relative azimuth angle. |
