Yg. Trokhimovski et al., DEPENDENCE OF S-BAND SEA-SURFACE BRIGHTNESS AND TEMPERATURE ON WIND VECTOR AT NORMAL INCIDENCE, IEEE transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, 33(4), 1995, pp. 1085-1088
Aircraft measurements of the S-band sea surface brightness temperature
at nadir as a function of wind speed and wind direction were carried
out in various regions in 1985-1989. Data set of 65 circular flights w
as analyzed. It is shown that for water temperature recovering the win
d direction is to be taken into account.
