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. 000722956 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 14, 2013). 000722956 650_0 $$aWinds$$xSpeed$$xMeasurement. 000722956 650_0 $$aRadar in aeronautics. 000722956 650_0 $$aBodies of water$$xRemote sensing. 000722956 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in earth sciences. 000722956 852__ $$bebk 000722956 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-00621-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000722956 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:722956$$pGLOBAL_SET 000722956 980__ $$aEBOOK 000722956 980__ $$aBIB 000722956 982__ $$aEbook 000722956 983__ $$aOnline 000722956 994__ $$a92$$bISE
