Abstract :
We present new results concerning modeling and simulations of ocean microwave radiometric data. A multifactor stochastic approach is applied to compute joint impacts of different environmental factors on ocean microwave emission at K-, X-, C-, S-, and L bands. Using computer simulations we may estimate, predict, and explore variations of radiometric signals, images, and signatures due to the great variety of surface and observation conditions. Our numerical study has also demonstrated potential capabilities of multiband passive microwave techniques for advanced ocean remote sensing studies and applications.
