The Approach for Studying Variability of Sea Wave Spectra in a Wide Range of Wavelengths from High-Resolution Satellite Optical Imagery
Journal: Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Year: 2021

The development and validation of a method for remote measurement of the spectra of sea waves, which significantly expands the capabilities to study surface waves in large water areas in a wide range of wavelengths, is described. The applied approach is based on the use of retrieving operators, which are constructed by the method of numerical simulation, taking into account the nonlinear nature of brightness field modulation by the slopes of the sea surface. Retrieving operators have a set of pa
