A Study of Passive Polarimetry for Remote Sensing of the Ocean Wind Vector

9711932 Swift这个项目是研究海洋表面风向和风速的被动极化遥感，并将这项技术与散射测量进行比较。将对丰富的数据集进行分析，以1)建立一个描述辐射斯托克斯参数与风的关系的经验模型，2)执行傅立叶分析来表征斯托克斯参数，3)将结果与后向散射特征进行比较，4)模拟对响应作出贡献的物理过程，以及5)评估被动极化测量用于基于卫星的海洋表面风矢量传感的潜力。

9711932 Swift This project is to investigate passive polarimetric remote sensing of the ocean surface wind direction and speed, and to compare this technique to scatterometry. A rich data set will be analyzed to 1) develop an empirical model describing the radiative Stokes parameters dependence on wind, 2) perform a Fourier analysis to characterize the Stokes parameters; 3) compare the results with backscatter signatures, 4) model the physical processes contributing to the response, and 5) evaluate the potential of passive polarimetry for satellite-based sensing of the ocean surface wind vector.
