Abstract :
The spectral, angular, polarization, air and water temperatures, sea surface waves and wind features of reflected from the sea surface radar signal frequency Doppler shift distribution variance, sea surface radar cross section and brightness temperature are considered. The method and device of simultaneous Doppler-radar and cross-polarized radiometer sensing for sea surface roughness degree, wind speed, water and air temperatures determination are described
