Abstract

A concept for combining of data of altimeter and down looking or slight tilted radiometer observations is presented. Microwave, combined active-passive method for detection and identification of sea surface anomalous formations (signatures) is described, originated due to separate changes of various parameters, such 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.
