Study of internal wave retrieval precision from SAR images under varying wind and radar observation conditions

The retrieval results were achieved respectively in different radar bands, intersection angle between radar look direction and propagation direction of internal waves (IWs), wind direction and wind speed based on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging simulation model. After analyzing the retrieval results, the importance of influences to the retrieval precision by these parameters was stated and the best radar bands and look direction under certain wind conditions were indicated. SAR imagery was used to validate the simulation results finally.
