Ocean wave mapping from ERS SAR images in the presence of swell and wind-waves

Ocean wave mapping from ERS SAR images in the presence of swell and wind-waves

We present a method for estimating the significant wave height of ocean waves (SWH) in coastal zones from satellite SAR images and using the value of the width of the spectral azimuthal cutoff. The method deals with the case of an energetic swell propagating over a wind wave system. It requires the...
