      abstract = {The wind vector -- wind speed and direction -- is a main  meteorological quantity and relevant for air-sea exchange  processes. This book explores the use of several airborne  microwave instruments, some of which are part of standard  aircraft equipment, in determining the local wind vector  over water. This is worthwhile as local wind information is  usually only available at measurements sites like weather  stations and airports, and global wind information from  satellites has very coarse resolution and poor temporal  coverage at most a few times daily. In his book, Nekrasov  uses known results in a novel way and gives explicit and  application-oriented descriptions how to additionally  retrieve local wind information from standard airborne  microwave instruments. The results presented here are  highly valuable for flight operation above the sea (e.g.,  search-and-rescue) but also for complementing other  measurements of atmospheric or oceanic parameters during  research flights.},
