Ocean Wave Inversion Based on Airborne IRA Images

The interferometric radar altimeter (IRA) is one of the main payloads of the "Guanlan" ocean science satellite proposed by the National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology of China. To evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of the IRA in retrieving the ocean dynamic parameters, s...

description The interferometric radar altimeter (IRA) is one of the main payloads of the "Guanlan" ocean science satellite proposed by the National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology of China. To evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of the IRA in retrieving the ocean dynamic parameters, such as sea surface height (SSH), ocean wave spectrum, and wind speed, two airborne IRA experiments were carried out at Qingdao Xiaomaidao (XMD) sea area on March 31, 2019, and Rizhao sea area on November 16, 2020. In the present work, wave-induced sea surface elevation (SSE) and its spectrum have been retrieved based on the interferograms acquired by the airborne IRA. To suppress the random phase noise, a mean filtering algorithm has been used in the multilook process of calculating the complex IRA images. The results show that the size of the filter window has a significant effect on the retrieved SSE. If the size of the filter window along THE range direction is too large, the flat earth would cause the spectral density of the retrieved ocean wave to be higher. In addition, the comparisons of the retrieved spectra with the buoy measurements demonstrate that the swell can be well-retrieved by IRA images at low sea-state conditions with significant wave height (SWH) less than 0.7 m. However, for wind wave, because of the effect of the velocity bunching along the azimuth direction, the wind wave spectrum can be extracted only when it propagates approximately along the ground-range direction of the IRA images.
