On the physical mechanism causing strongly enhanced radar backscatter in C-Band SAR images of convective rain over the ocean Open
Radar signatures of rain over the ocean have a complex structure since they receive contributions from surface scattering and volume scattering and attenuation by hydrometeors in the atmosphere. These contributions overlap and are often di…

Surface Wave Breaking Caused by Internal Solitary Waves: Effects on Radar Backscattering Measured by SAR and Radar Altimeter Open
Breaking surface waves play a key role in the exchange of momentum, heat, and gases between the atmosphere and the ocean. Waves break at the ocean’s surface at high or medium wind speeds or in the absence of wind due to shoaling of the sea…

Rain footprints on C-band synthetic aperture radar images of the ocean - Revisited Open
It is well known that rain leaves footprints on the sea surface that sometimes become visible on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Rain cells can easily be detected on SAR images at all radar frequencies when they are associated with …

Study of a Wind Front over the Northern South China Sea Generated by the Freshening of the North-East Monsoon Open
Wind fronts associated with cold-air outbreaks from the Chinese continent in the winter are often observed over the northern South China Sea and are well studied. However, wind fronts caused by another type of synoptic setting, the sudden …
