Abstract
We propose a concept of the utilization of an aircraft Doppler Navigation System (DNS) as a sea-surface wind sensor complementary to its normal functionality. The DNS with an antenna, which is non-stabilized physically to the local horizontal with x-configured beams, is considered. We consider the wind measurements by the DNS configured in the multi-beam scatterometer mode for a rectilinear flight scenario. The system feasibility and the efficiency of the proposed wind algorithm retrieval are supported by computer simulations. Finally, the associated limitations of the proposed approach are considered.

Summary
Microwave backscatter from the sea/ocean surface and remote measurement of the sea-surface wind have been actively investigated during the last seven decades [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21]. We suggest the complementary utilization of the onboard DNS equipped with a in addition to its system normal(non-stabilized functionality.relative. We propose a particular the sea surface fixed antenna to the local horizontal) as aalgorithm sea-surface for wind sensor in windaddition speed and direction retrieval from the DNS measurements. This new application of the DNS to its normal functionality. We propose a particular algorithm for the sea surface wind as a sensor of the sea-surface wind, addition to its typical This navigational functions, is DNS achieved speed and direction retrieval frominthe.
