Abstract
In order to obtain additional parameters to more fully and adequately characterize the signature of a complex sea state a short pulse length, about 10 ns long, scatterometer is proposed with signal processing circuits to perform spectral and threshold level analyses. The incorporation of this scatterometer in a nadir-axis oriented, conically scanned antenna beam should aid significantly in establishing the degree of correlation of the normalized radar cross section to the wind velocity vector over the ocean surface.Keywords
