This interaction has been exploited to measure sea surface wind speed by scatterometry. A number of features on the sea surface associated with changes in roughness can be observed by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) because of the change in Bragg backscatter of the radar signal by damping of the resonant ocean capillary waves. With various radar frequencies, resolutions, and modes of polarization, sea surface features have been analyzed in numerous campaigns, bringing various datasets together, thus allowing for new insights into small-scale processes at a larger areal coverage. This Special Issue aims at investigating sea surface features detected by high spatial resolution radar systems, such as SAR.dispersion curve filteringSynthetic Aperture RadarRADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM)marine X-band radarcompact polarization (CP)cross-polarizationproper orthogonal decompositionrainright circular horizontal polarization modelsupport vector machinesSentinel-1wind speedwave heighthurricaneocean surface wavesSMAPCopernicussynthetic aperture radarco-polarized phase differencesynthetic aperture radar (SAR)oceansfetch- and duration-limited wave growth relationshipsWake detectionair-sea interactionphase-resolved wave fieldswindSARCoVe-Pol and CoHo-Pol modelsBaltic Seawind retrievalocean surface wind speed retrievalCMEMSdetectability modelright circular vertical polarization modelhurricane internal dynamical processocean windspolarimetrysea surface roughnesseyewall replacement cyclesGF-3dual-polarizationquad-polarized SARtyphoon/hurricane-generated wind wavescoast and ocean observationradargeophysical model function (GMF)Doppler radarLehner Susanne1786459Li XiaofengFujimura AtsushiSoloviev AlexScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367750503321Sea Surface Roughness Observed by High Resolution Radar4318146UNINA
