[DOI: 10.21982/M8P35J] Matlab NSCAT1 Tabular Model Function Evaluation Code
Long, David
Evaluate and plot tabular NSCAT1 geophysical model function relating
dual-pol Ku-band (14 GHz) backscatter to wind speed and direction for
different incidence angles and antenna azimuth (relative to north).
Directions are specified in oceanographic convention (mass flow)
relative to north.
