Abstract
In order to retrieve ocean wind from SAR() image, and to estimate and validate between SAR-derived wind and in-situ wind, with RADAR SAR ocean images and real time marine meteorological data. It was used images with more than 10km to analyze the band of wind in SAR image by FFT(First Fourier Transformation) method and was used CMOD5 as wind retrieval model to retrieve ocean wind. In this study, generally it showed good results as RMS presented 0.8m/s for speed and 8 degree for direction, and especially when wind was hish speed, it presented very good results.
