Abstract

A concept for combining of data of scatterometric and dual polarization radiometer observations is presented. Mmicrowave, combined active-passive method for detection and identification of sea surface anomalous formations (signatures) is described, originated due to separate changes of such parameters as: the wind speed, the sea state in the form of swell or long wave spectrum characteristics, air and water temperatures, characteristics of foam formations, etc. A block diagram of combined radar-radiometer detector-identifier is described, as well as the samples of sea surface radar-radiometer images are presented
