  • Abstract
    This paper presents the under-going development of the ground segment algorithms of the SWIM instrument. SWIM is a wave scatterometer which will be embarked on the Chinese French oceanography mission, CFOSAT. SWIM aims at measuring the 2D oceanic wave spectra; it is a Ku band real aperture radar. Simulations are performed to get data along the satellite track: radar signals are obtained simulated interaction with a realistic sea surface and taking into account the radar geometry. Then, the simulated data are processed with software prototypes.
