Characteristics of a typical Brown waveform over the open ocean.
Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: The figure shows a typical Brown waveform which is controlled by the altimeter antenna
gain pattern, it has a well-defined shape consisting of three parts, thermal noise, a fast-rising leading edge, and a decaying trailing edge. The fundamental parameters obtained through waveform retracking are the satellite height above the sea surface (range), the significant wave height (SWH), and the backscatter coefficient (sigma0) which is related to sea surface wind. Moreover, an antenna mispointing angle (ξ) parameter, which is linked to the slope of the trailing edge, has a strong impact on sigma0 estimation because it reduces the apparent backscatter coefficient for the radar antenna (i.e., any deviation |
