On the homogeneity of the wave field in coastal areas as determined from ERS-2 and RADARSAT synthetic aperture radar images of the ocean surface

Spatial variations of the wave field in coastal waters were determined from images obtained by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) on board the European satellites ERS-1 and 2. The capabilities of RADARSAT SAR to provide useful information for evaluating the wave field variation in nearshore waters are e...
