Whitecap Observations by Microwave Radiometers: With Discussion on Surface Roughness and Foam Contributions

Ocean surface whitecaps manifest surface wave breaking. Most of the whitecap data reported in the literature are based on optical observations through photographic or video recording. The air in whitecaps modifies the dielectric properties of microwave emissions and scattering. Therefore, whitecap i...
