Research Progress in Microwave Remote Sensing of Sea-surface Currents and Analysis of the Key Problems

To demonstrate the research direction of the sea surface current remote sensing,an o-verview on the present progresses of the electromagnetic scattering theory about dynamic sea surface and the sea surface current retrieval is made,and the analyses based on existing meth-ods help to find out the questions,which need to clarify,then to analyze and finally make a de-termination of solving methodology.Key issues are proposed,such as how to incorporate sea-surface currents into the modeling of the dynamic ocean surface,how to select appropriate pa-rameters to characterize the electromagnetic scattering properties of sea-surface currents,and how to deal with the issue of the image resolution and so on.The research strategy is proposed as follows:Sea surface current remote sensing need the combination of the satellite retrieval re-sults with the electromagnetic scattering theory,and it also need further work on the high reso-lution retrieval.
