| Popis: | SIR-B synthetic aperture radar ocean-wave spectra for a 200-km pass crossing the Agulhas current off the coast of Africa are analyzed. A significant enhancement of one spectral peak along the northern edge of the current is attributed both to amplification of the waves by refraction-dominated wave-current interaction and to transient specular backscatter contributions spatially correlated to the waves. |
