Target sites are Tanabe Bay in Wakayama Prefecture and Sagami Bay in Kanagawa Prefecture, where in situ offshore wind measurements are available at marine tower stations of Kyoto University and National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention, respectively. For wind speed estimation, ALOS/PALSAR data is used and then the results are compared with those from ENVISAT/ASAR, which have already been used to estimate wind speed at both sites under other our projects. This study mainly consists of two tasks as follows: 1) Comparison of wind speed estimation accuracy among sensors, bands, modes, polarizations and model functions, etc., and 2) Utilizing wind direction from a mesoscale meteorological model as input to SAR-based wind estimation method. As a result of the above tasks, this study finally proposes a promising SAR-based method for offshore wind resource assessmen., 形態: カラー図版あり, 形態: DVD-ROM1枚, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, Note: One DVD-ROM, 資料番号: AA0065135123, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-11-007E}, title = {INVESTIGATION ON METHODOLOGY OF OFFSHORE WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT BY USING SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR}, year = {2011} }
