Abstract
Korean Multi-Purpose SATellite 5 (KOMPSAT-5) will be the first high resolution X-band SAR satellite of Korea. A critical parameter necessary for interpreting SAR images over the ocean is surface wind field. SAR is the only system that can provide a synoptic view of wind fields over the ocean covering large areas. However, there has been no X-band wind retrieval model. In this study, we evaluate the development of an X-band wind retrieval model and show the possibility of KOMPSAT-5 SAR on wind estimations using a combination of theoretical models.
