In this paper, a preliminary validation study of the Azimuth cut-off procedure is presented for the X-band COSMO-SkyMed© SAR-based wind speed estimation. The data set consists of 100 sub-images excerpted by X-band Level 1B Stripmap HImage COSMO-SkyMed© SAR data, gathered in the geographic area of Mediterranean Sea on 2009. The validation is accomplished by using the ground truth provided by timely and spatially co-located QuikSCAT scatterometer data. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach taking full benefits of X-band COSMO-SkyMed© SAR data.

Abstract
In this paper, a preliminary validation study of the Azimuth cut-off procedure is presented for the X-band COSMO-SkyMed© SAR-based wind speed estimation. The data set consists of 100 sub-images excerpted by X-band Level 1B Stripmap HImage COSMO-SkyMed© SAR data, gathered in the geographic area of Mediterranean Sea on 2009. The validation is accomplished by using the ground truth provided by timely and spatially co-located QuikSCAT scatterometer data. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach taking full benefits of X-band COSMO-SkyMed© SAR data.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
