Simulation of full-scale backscattering measurements of a radar with a knife-edge beam by using radio probing data in the centimeter wavelength band

We propose an algorithm for conversion of the data obtained by using a centimeter-wave radar designed to measure precipitation intensity to the data obtained by using a radar with a knife-edge beam. This opens up the way for simulation of satellite-based measurements with a knife-edge beam radar at...

Description
Summary:We propose an algorithm for conversion of the data obtained by using a centimeter-wave radar designed to measure precipitation intensity to the data obtained by using a radar with a knife-edge beam. This opens up the way for simulation of satellite-based measurements with a knife-edge beam radar at the development stage with high confidence. Processing of the converted centimeter-wave radar data confirmed the efficiency of the algorithms used to reconstruct the dispersion of swelling tilts. A technique is proposed to form a panoramic image of the sea surface, and its operability is proved by analysis of the centimeter-wave radar data. This technique will allow one to reveal and study manifestations of large-scale wave processes on the sea surface.
