Joint Retrieval of Wind- and Total Surface Current Vectors from TanDEM-X Bidirectional Along-Track Interferometric Data

Direct measurement of ocean surface velocity from space with a Synthetic Aperture Radar has shown to be a promising method to observe ocean surface currents. In this thesis report a method for Total Surface Current Vector (TSCV) retrieval using an experimental Bidirectional (BiDi) Along-Track Interferometric (ATI) acquisition mode with TanDEM-X...
