Abstract
High resolution ERS-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are used for mesoscale eddy detection which aids in monitoring the recruitment of fish in the Gulf of Alaska. During high sea states and high winds, the direct surface signature of the eddy was not clearly visible, but the wave refraction in the eddy area was observed. The rays of the wave field are traced-out directly from the SAR image
