Abstract

NASA's Sea Winds scatterometer, on Japan's ADEOS-II satellite, is a special purpose radar remote sensor used to measure ocean surface wind vector. This paper presents the novel use of SeaWinds as a radiometer (SRad), to measure the ocean's brightness temperature simultaneously with the radar backscattered power. The calibration/validation of the SRad ocean Tb data processing algorithm uses the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) that also operates on ADEOS-II as a brightness temperature standard. Empirical on-orbit comparisons are presented for SRad and independent, simultaneous Tb measurements from AMSR. © 2005 IEEE.
