Abstract

Airborne ocean backscatter dual polarization measurements at C and Ku-band obtained in high wind speed conditions (20 to 60 m/s) are presented. The VV and HH NRCS measurements are compared. The preliminary comparisons show that the HH NRCS measurements are slightly more sensitive to the surface wind speeds for high wind speed and precipitation conditions.
