A two-scale Bragg scattering model for microwave backscatter from wind generated waves / by Mark A. Donelan and Willard J. Pierson. : En13-5/86-110E-PDF
"This paper and the companion paper (Verification Results for a Two-Scale Model of Microwave Backscatter from the Sea Surface, Pierson and Donelan), present a new model for measuring winds over the ocean using satellite borne radar and present a preliminary verification of the model. These works respresent an important advance in our ability to measure wind speed and direction in a synoptic sense over the world's oceans. This in turn is a necessary step in improving weather forecasting. The model will likely be used in future weather satellites"--Management perspective, p. i.
