This book explores the use of several airborne microwave instruments, some of which are part of standard aircraft equipment, in determining the local wind vector over water. This is worthwhile as local wind information is usually only available at measurements sites like weather stations and airports, and global wind information from satellites has very coarse resolution and poor temporal coverage ? at most a few times daily. In his book, Nekrasov uses known results in a novel way and gives explicit and application-oriented descriptions how to additionally retrieve local wind information from standard airborne microwave instruments. The results presented here are highly valuable for flight operation above the sea (e.g., search-and-rescue) but also for complementing other measurements of atmospheric or oceanic parameters during research flights. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences,$x2191-5369 606 $aRemote sensing 606 $aMeteorology 606 $aOceanography 606 $aMicrowaves 606 $aOptical engineering 606 $aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13010 606 $aMeteorology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/312000 606 $aOceanography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G25005 606 $aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24019 615 0$aRemote sensing. 615 0$aMeteorology. 615 0$aOceanography. 615 0$aMicrowaves. 615 0$aOptical engineering. 615 14$aRemote Sensing/Photogrammetry. 615 24$aMeteorology. 615 24$aOceanography. 615 24$aMicrowaves, RF and Optical Engineering. 676 $a551.5180287 700 $aNekrasov$b Alexey$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059993 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299558403321 996 $aFoundations for Innovative Application of Airborne Radars$92510064 997 $aUNINA
