Home Page Radar Ocean Wave Spectrometer
NASA GSFC's Radar Ocean Wave Spectrometer (ROWS) is an airborne remote sensor used to support the development and refinement of satellite radars that measure the ocean surface. The short-pulse Ku-band radar is specifically configured to measure the directional spectrum of ocean swell. In addition, the system is being used to study near-nadir ocean backscatter and its relation to wind waves. The sensor is typically flown on one of several NASA aircraft and is potentially available for outside use in funded ocean research efforts. Currently, ROWS research efforts are aimed at improving the interpretation of ocean data collected using the satellite SAR, altimeter and scatterometer .For More Information Contact:
