A process of synthetic aperture radar imaging of ocean surface waves is considered on the basis of the two-scale model of microwave scattering by a disturbed sea surface. Analytical expressions are obtained to relate characteristics of a large-scale wave image, averaged over an ensemble of realizations of the small-scale ripple, with the wave, radar, and viewing scheme as parameters. It is shown that the wave image would be defocused as an image of a target moving in the along-track direction with a speed equal to a half of the wave phase speed projection on the line of flight. The defocusing magnitude was measured experimentally for the ocean swells images, obtained with an airborneS -band radar, and the results are found to be in satisfactory agreement with the model prediction. 相似文献

A numerical model which consists of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation, the action balance equation and the radar backscat- tering model is developed to simulate the frequency dependence of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) remote sensing of nonlinear o- cean internal waves. Muhifrequency data collected by NASA SIR - C SAR and NASA JPL AIRSAR are used as comparison. Case studies show that the results of simulation agree well with the results of SAR data. 相似文献

A number of models which would explain ocean wave imagery taken with a synthetic aperture imaging radar are analyzed analytically and numerically. Actual radar imagery is used to support some conclusions. The models considered correspond to three sources of radar backscatter cross section modulation: tilt modulation, roughness variation, and the wave orbital velocity. The effect of the temporal changes of the surface structure, parametric interactions, and the resulting distortions are discussed. 相似文献

Simultaneously obtainedX - andL -band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data collected during the Marineland Experiment were spectrally analyzed by fast Fourier transform (FFT) techniques to estimate ocean wavelength and direction. An eight-sided flight pattern was flown over the same ocean area in order to study the sensitivity of the spectral estimate on radar look direction. These spectral estimates were compared with in situ wave measurements made by a pitch-and-roll buoy. The comparison revealed that theX -band SAR detected all gravity waves independent of radar look direction, while theL -band SAR detected all range-traveling gravity waves but failed to detect waves in three of four cases in which the waves were traveling within 25° of the azimuth direction. The analysis also indicates that azimuth-traveling waves appear longer and more range-traveling in the SAR imagery than observed by in situ instrumentation. It is postulated that degraded azimuth resolution due to scatterer motion is responsible for these observations. 相似文献

Data processing in a spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging the ocean surface is affected by earth rotation, orbit eccentricity, and wave motion. Without compensation these sources will cause the images to shift in range and in-track positions and also cause defocusing. Ionospheric granularities may degrade image quality. Calculations of the magnitudes of these effects are presented. 相似文献

Axial fronts of tidal currents are observed in Cook Inlet, AK, on a RADARSAT-1 standard mode synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image taken at 16:31:47 coordinated universal time (UTC) on July 12, 2002. The longest front appears as a 100-km-long quasi-linear bright feature in the SAR image. This front is characterized by an increase in the normalized radar cross section (NRCS) of 7 dB in the C-band horizontal polarization (C-HH) RADARSAT-1 SAR image. Two other smaller fronts exist in the middle of the inlet. The NRCS modulations appear to be less, at about 5 dB. A diagnostic Cook Inlet tidal model is developed to calculate the current velocity fields of the inlet and to demonstrate that the variation in bottom friction caused by the bathymetry distribution generates axial convergence at different tidal stages. The model, using the actual bathymetry, is driven by predicted tides from six tidal stations along the inlet coast. The model results show that the tidal current flowed into the inlet at the time the SAR image was obtained. Tidal current along two transects in the inlet is extracted to show that there is a significant cross-channel convergence of the along-channel velocity component, with a magnitude of 4 to 6 /spl times/ 10/sup -4/ s/sup -1/ near the observed front positions. In general, a higher velocity convergence from the model corresponds to higher NRCS return areas in this SAR image. 相似文献

Transformation of sea-surface Doppler microwave backscatter observations from the space-time domain to the wavenumber-frequency domain separates linear wave energy from nonlinear effects. Here observations and modeling are used to investigate the sources of these nonlinearities. Wave breaking and electromagnetic shadowing are examined with emphasis on their relative effects both inside and outside the region of the wavenumber-frequency spectrum associated with the linear dispersion equation. Shadowing significantly reduces the variance levels within the linear spectral region. In addition, shadowing is less directly related to changes in variance outside this region, i.e., that region associated with nonlinearity in the wave field. Wave breaking has less of an effect on the variance within the linear region than shadowing. However, the modeled wave breaking does have a greater tendency to increase variance levels at frequencies less than that of the linear wave field, for any given wavenumber. Aliasing and emphasis of crest backscatter are also explored to explain features seen in some wavenumber-frequency intensity images. Two-dimensional data allow the linear wave spectrum to be separated from nonlinear effects. This results in improved wave height spectrum estimation 相似文献

The purpose of this study is to discuss the influence of signal nonlinearity upon X-band radar observations. A method for
estimating the degree of nonlinearity by bispectral analysis was applied and discussed. We found that bispectral analyses
from spatial radar backscatter series are similar to results obtained from water level time series. In addition, the average
nonlinear degree from radar backscatter is related to wind speed. The accuracy of wave observations derived by consideration
of the nonlinear effect from radar backscatter was also investigated. The estimated error in wave height from the radar data
is also related to the degree of nonlinearity. In order to improve accuracy, the modulation transfer function method was applied
in order to eliminate the influence of nonlinearity. 相似文献

合成孔径雷达在海洋环境监测和海洋研究中扮演着越来越重要的角色。受其成像机制的影响,合成孔径雷达图像总是受到斑点噪声的污染。斑点噪声的存在会增大目标识别、跟踪和分类的难度,也会降低雷达信号的信噪比。合成孔径雷达海洋图像具有一些特殊的性质:海洋现象在雷达图像中主要呈现为条带状或斑块状的结构。这些条带状或斑块状的结构呈现出高度的自相似性或信息冗余。非局部平均方法能够衡量图像中不同图像块之间纹理结构的相似性,并利用图像的自相似性对图像进行去噪。但非局部平均去燥方法存在计算量巨大、计算耗时长的缺点,这几乎限制了其实际应用。本文采用一种自适应方法将雷达图像中的像素点区分为纹理区像素点和平坦区像素点。对纹理区像素点,采用较大的相似窗和搜索窗,对平坦区像素点,采用较小的相似窗和搜索窗,从而提高计算速度。进一步,本文基于计算统一设备并行架构(CUDA)技术,利用计算机图形处理器(GPU)对前述算法进行并行加速。与经典非局部平均算法相比,加速后算法的计算效率提高了200倍。 相似文献

A radar technique has been developed for measuring the statistical height properties of a random rough surface. This method is being applied to the problem of measuring the significant wave height and probability density function of ocean waves from an aircraft or spacecraft. Earlier theoretical and laboratory results have been extended to define the requirements and performance limitations of flight systems. Some details of the current airborne radar system are discussed and results obtained on several experimental missions are presented and interpreted. 相似文献

介绍了星载雷达波谱仪的观测原理及误差分析模型,并在Hauser等提出的SWI M(sea wave investigation and monitoring by satellite)的基础上分析了波谱仪反演海浪谱的波长分辨率和角度分辨率。为了减小反演调制谱的波动,在数据处理过程中时域和波数域相邻单元的平均个数分别为10和8个。系统在不同的模式下工作,为了获取20°的角度分辨率,对调制谱平均次数分别取3次(模式1)、7次(模式2)、10次(模式3)。使用解析法和仿真法分析了SWI M工作在模式2时海浪谱观测的能量误差,两种方法的结果一致。对于给定的海浪条件,能量误差小于20%。 相似文献

合成孔径雷达是海洋内波研究中最重要的工具之一。雷达图像中的斑点噪声会严重降低图像的质量,这一问题在处理和分析信号较弱的二模态内波信号和上升型内波信号时极为明显。合成孔径雷达图像中的海洋内孤立波的信号具有明显的尺度性和方向性。同时,curvelet变换作为一种同时具备尺度分辨率和方向分辨率的数学变换,能够对一幅雷达图像在不同尺度、不同方向和不同位置上进行分析。本文给出了一个基于curvelet变换的合成孔径雷达海洋内孤立波图像的斑点噪声抑制方法。该方法可简述为:(1)对一幅合成孔径雷达海洋内孤立波图像进行curvelet变换,获得curvelet系数;(2)分别仅仅保留一个尺度的系数,将其它尺度的系数置为零,利用处理之后的系数分别重建图像,得到仅仅用一个尺度的系数重建的图像;(3)分别计算上一步中得到的图像的均方差,根据波浪理论,图像的方差代表能量,方差越大则能量越大,以此可以确定内波信息集中的尺度;(4)在每个尺度下,分别计算每个方向的curvelet系数矩阵的平均值,以此确定内孤立波信号集中的方向;(5)在上两步工作的基础上,仅仅保留内波信号集中的尺度和方向的系数,而将其它尺度和方向的系数置为0,得到一幅提取主波信息的图像;(6)将上一步得到的提取主波信息的图像加回到原始图像中,从而达到增强波浪信息并抑制斑点噪声的目的。大量的实验验证表明,该方法不仅能有效地压制斑点噪声,而且能有效地增强波浪信号。 相似文献

In this study a novel synthetic aperture radar(SAR) scattering model for sea surface with breaking waves is proposed. Compared with existing models, the proposed model considers an empirical relationship between wind speed and wave breaking scattering to present the contribution of wave breaking. Moreover, the scattering weight factor p, and wave breaking rate q, are performed to present the contribution of the quasi-specular scattering term, Bragg scattering term, and wave breaking scattering t... 相似文献

Vessel-based observations of the oceanic surface layer during the 14-day 2004 SAGE ocean fertilization experiment were conducted using ADCP, CTD and temperature microstructure in a frame of reference moving with a patch of injected SF6 tracer. During the experiment the mixed layer depth zmld ranged between 50 and 80 m, with several re-stratifying events that brought zmld up to less than 40 m. These re-stratifying events were not directly attributable to local surface-down development of stratification and were more likely associated with horizontal variation in density structure. Comparison between the CTD and a one-dimensional model confirmed that the SAGE experiment was governed by 3-d processes. A new method for estimating zmld was developed that incorporates a component that is proportional to density gradient. This highlighted the need for well-conditioned near-surface data which are not always available from vessel-based survey CTD profiles. A centred-displacement scale, Lc, equivalent to the Thorpe lengthscale, reached a maximum of 20 m, with the eddy-centroid located at around 40 m depth. Temperature gradient microstructure-derived estimates of the vertical turbulent eddy diffusivity of scalar (temperature) material yielded bin-averaged values around 10−3 m2 s−1 in the pycnocline rising to over 10−2 m2 s−1 higher in the surface layer. This suggests transport rates of nitrate and silicate at the base of the surface layer generate mixed layer increases of the order of 38 and 13 mmol/m2/day, respectively, during SAGE. However, the variability in measured vertical transport processes highlights the importance of transient events like wind mixing and horizontal intrusions. 相似文献

The digital processing requirements of several algorithms for extracting the spectrum of a detected synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image from the raw SAR data are described and compared. The most efficient algorithms for image spectrum extraction from raw SAR data appear to be those containing an intermediate image formation step. It is shown that a recently developed compact formulation of the image spectrum in terms of the raw data is computationally inefficient when evaluated directly, in comparison with the classical method where matched-filter image formation is an intermediate result. It is also shown that a proposed indirect procedure for digitally implementing the same compact formulation is somewhat more efficient than the classical matched-filtering approach. However, this indirect procedure includes the image formation process as part of the total algorithm. Indeed, the computational savings afforded by the indirect implementation are identical to those obtained in SAR image formation processing when the matched-filtering algorithm is replaced by the well-known "dechirp-Fourier transform" technique. Furthermore, corrections to account for slant-to-ground range conversion, spherical earth, etc., are often best implemented in the image domain, making intermediate image formation a valuable processing feature. 相似文献

SAR是一种主动式微波成像传感器,通过测量海面后向散射信号的幅值及其时间相位,能产生海面后向散射强度在海面分布的图像。这种图像能极为详细地显示出海面后向散射强度变化的细节,其分辨率为几米到几十米的数量级。此外,由于SAR工作在微波波段,即使在黑夜也能正常工作,它发射的微波可以穿透云层,因而测量不受恶劣天气的影响。这种全天候、全天时和高分辨率观测海洋的优势是可见光和红外传感器以及其他微波传感器所没有的,所以目前SAR已成为海洋观测的重要手段之一。 相似文献

Measurements of the ocean wave directional spectrum using a dual, high-frequency (HF) radar system are presented. A model-fitting technique is used to obtain wave measurements from the radar Doppler spectra. Over 100 h of data, collected NURWEC2 (Netherlands-UK Radar Wavebuoy Experimental Comparison), have been compared with measurements using a WAVEC directional wave buoy. The amplitude and directional characteristics of long-wave components at frequencies of 0.07-0.1 Hz in general show good agreement. Reasonable estimates of the directional spectrum across the whole frequency range are obtained when the assumptions of the model-fitting technique are appropriate. Remaining problems in radar measurement and difficulties in assessing accuracy are discussed 相似文献
