Tropical Cyclone Eye Morphology and Extratropical-Cyclone-Forced Mountain Lee Waves on SAR Imagery
This chapter introduces an objective method for determining the center of the tropical cyclone (TC) from spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data based on the structures of the well-defined TC eyes in the SAR images. A series of Radarsat-1 SAR image

Hurricane Monitoring With Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar
Springer Natural Hazards
The Springer Natural Hazards series seeks to publish a broad portfolio of scientific books, aiming at researchers, students, and everyone interested in Natural Hazard research. The series includes peer-reviewed monographs, edited volumes, textbooks, and conference proceedings. It covers all categories of hazards such as atmospheric/climatological/oceanographic hazards, storms, tsunamis, floods, avalanches, landslides, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, and welcomes book proposals on topics like risk assessment, risk management, and mitigation of hazards, and related subjects.

Preface
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a high-resolution ( 50 m/s over a broad wavenumber range. The former [(i)] is caused by the change of wind speed exponent a of the similarity Eq. (10.2) in the region u ∗ /c >∼ 3 as illustrated in Fig. 10.4c. This is an artifact resulted from approximating the gradual variation of the exponent in the neighborhood of u ∗ /c = 3 by two linear segments employed by H
