Abstract
Polarimetric microwave radiometry has received much attention in recent years as a potential tool for measuring the ocean surface wind vector. Several airborne sensors have been built and collected valuable data. This paper describes some of the important design issues that must be addressed to deploy successfully a satellite-based polarimetric microwave radiometer
