An Improved Local Gradient Method for Sea Surface Wind Direction Retrieval from SAR Imagery

Sea surface wind affects the fluxes of energy, mass and momentum between the atmosphere and ocean, and therefore regional and global weather and climate. With various satellite microwave sensors, sea surface wind can be measured with large spatial coverage in almost all-weather conditions, day or ni...
