Abstract :
In this paper we present a scatterometer inversion procedure capable to deal with data frames in which we have triplets and doublets. This is actually the case of the Wind SCatterometer (WSC) on board of the ERS-2 satellite over the Mediterranean Sea. A set of meaningful experiments is presented.
