Sea wave modeling with X-band COSMO-SkyMed<sup>©</sup> SAR-derived wind field forcing and applications in coastal vulnerability assessment

In this paper, X-band COSMO-SkyMed<sup>©</sup> synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wind field data are first used to force coastal wind wave modeling for both sea wave numerical simulation and coastal vulnerability assessment purposes. The SAR-based wind field retrieval is accomplished by res...
