Airborne synthetic aperture radar images of an upwelling filament

The Cape Mendicino upwelling filament was imaged in 1989 using the NASA/JPL AIRSAR multiband Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and NOAA AVHRR thermal and optical radiometry. To first order, SAR images of the ocean are solely dependent on the surface wave field, but they ultimately reflect the synergy o...
