Theoretical and experimental analysis of spatial decorrelation of Doppler scatterometer

Ocean surface current is a very important parameter of ocean dynamic environment, which has been connected to global climate change, marine environment forecasting, marine navigation, engineering security and so on. Doppler scatterometer is a new type of scatterometer that can be used to measure ocean surface current as well as the ocean wind vector in space. The Doppler Scatterometer is based on a real aperture radar, which can achieve a very wide swath. It can provide the ocean surface current and wind vector information in a certain resolution and achieve global coverage quickly, which is very important for the marine environment forecasting and climate changes research.
