Tropical Cyclone Winds Retrieved From Synthetic Aperture Radar

This paper describes algorithms used to retrieve high-resolution wind fields in tropical cyclone conditions from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data acquired at C-band with either co-polarization or cross-polarization. Wind directions are estimated from the orientation of wind-induced streaks visibl...
