Code Name: CMOD5.m
Description: Code computes C-band vv σ0 for a specified incidence angle, radar azimuth angle, wind direction, and wind speed according to the CMOD5 geophysical model function.
Input Variables:
θ: | Incidence angle [15 ≤ θ ≤ 60] (degrees) | |
ϕradar: | Radar illumination azimuth angle relative to north (deg) | |
ϕwind: | Wind direction relative to north (meteorological convention, deg) | |
U: | Wind speed [0≤ U≤60] (m/s) |
Output Products:
σ0: | vv normalized radar cross-section (unitless) |
