Abstract: |
Airborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which has flexible characteristics, is an effective means of obtaining regional ocean-wave parameters. These regional ocean-wave parameters are the most fundamental and important marine environmental parameters in dynamic marine processes. Based on the sounding characteristics of airborne SAR, the first-guess spectrum is constructed by combining ocean-wave spectrum model, direction function with the synchronous wind speed and wind direction which match with the inversion region of ocean wave parameters temporally and spatially. The synchronous wind speed and wind direction can be obtained from the SAR data itself using the multi-incidence angle method. Next, a simulated SAR image corresponding with the first-guess spectrum can be produced based on the nonlinear image relations between the ocean-wave direction spectrum and the SAR image spectrum. The simulated observed SAR image spectrums are combined as an iterative operation, and the most suitable wave spectrum can be obtained by solving the nonlinear equation. Finally, the wave parameters are obtained using the cross-spectra method, which is used for eliminating the 180° direction ambiguity of ocean-wave propagation. This study proposes a method of retrieving ocean-wave parameters from airborne SAR imagery based on the synchronization information of the wind field. This method entirely utilizes the advantage of airborne SAR in the marine environment by solving the problem of the first-guess spectrum structure that is dependent on external wind field in traditional SAR wave parameter inversion. Airborne ocean-wave parameter inversion results from synchronized flight tests and survey ship observations yield root-mean-square errors for significant wave height and wave direction of 0.23 m and 13.23°, respectively. These errors verify the validity of the proposed method and provide support for the using ocean-wave parameters retrieved from airborne SAR imagery. |
