Influence of Swell Wave on Wind Speed Retrieval Using ENVISAT ASAR Wave Mode Imagery

Figure 6

Sea surface height with an increase of Cvar. (a) Swell wave height variation with an increase of Cvar in the case of wind speeds of 1 m/s, 5 m/s, and 10 m/s. (b) Wind wave height variation with an increase of Cvar in the case of wind speeds of 1 m/s, 5 m/s, and 10 m/s. The simulated incidence angle is set to 23°, and relative wind direction is set to upwind.
