Mountains to molehills
Article Abstract:
The TerraSAR-X mission can take the images of any given spot on the Earth and researchers from Germany and the U.S. will use these images to study wave heights, wind stress and air-sea fluxes off the coast of Florida and in the Southern Ocean. Marine scientists are interested in the data provided by TerraSAR-X on the properties of features such as crops, ice crystals or ocean waves.
