ERS-1 model for significant wave detection

A quasi-linear transfer function has been applied to radar data (ERS-1) to model the significant wave height in two seasons. These seasons are the end of the southwest monsoon and the intermonsoon period. The quasi-linear transfer model has been based on the azimuth cut-off. The results show that th...

Sumario:A quasi-linear transfer function has been applied to radar data (ERS-1) to model the significant wave height in two seasons. These seasons are the end of the southwest monsoon and the intermonsoon period. The quasi-linear transfer model has been based on the azimuth cut-off. The results show that the significant wave height varied with the different period of the ERS-1 images. The modeled significant wave height are in good agreement with sea truth data. In conclusion, the quasi-linear transfer model can be used as monitoring model in detecting the significant wave height variation with different monsoon periods.
