Description:
Interferometric system uses reflections from ripples. Experimental airborne interferometric synthetic-aperture radar system measures line-of-sight component of velocity of ripples on surface of ocean. With help of suitable assumptions about relationships among ripples, larger waves or swells on which they occur, and overall movement of water, component of velocity of underlying surface current perpendicular to path of airplane deduced.
