Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) as a form of radar to create images
of objects, uses the motion of the radar antenna over a targeted
region to provide finer spatial resolution than is possible with
conventional beam-scanning radars by mounting the antenna on a
moving platform such as an aircraft or spacecraft. As antenna
aperture (the 'size' of the antenna) is defined by the distance the
SAR device travels over a target in the time taken for the radar
pulses to return to the antenna, the larger the aperture is, the
higher the image resolution, therefore, this enables SAR to create
high resolution images with comparatively small physical
antennas.This special book aims to provide the updated theories and
methods for the use of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) onboard
satellites to detect ocean processes, i.e., SAR ocean remote
sensing. It is a hi-tech application field having been developed
since late 1970s and become a powerful tool for obtaining dynamic
signatures from the remote and broad ocean.
