Abstract :
Airborne radar along-track interferometric measurements of a coastal area with a complex tidal flow pattern are analyzed. The results are compared with a current field computed from a tidal model. Using wave-current interaction modeling, a radar backscatter image is simulated based on the measured current field, and compared to the measured radar power image
