Abstract
- Simulation results are used to assist algorithm development for extracting the ocean surface significant wave height (SWH) from microwave scattering of satellite broadcast signals from the ocean surface. The analysis shows that the Doppler frequency spectrum width is a reliable parameter for extracting the SWH. The numerical experiments include both deep and shallow water conditions. The correlation between Doppler frequency spectrum width and SWH is robust and applicable to all wind speeds, inverse wave ages, and water depths tested in this study (5-21 m/s, 0.8-2.0, and 3 m-∞ , respectively).
