Cross-Polarized SAR: A New  Potential  Technique for Hurricanes Will Perrie and Biao Zhang Bedford Institute of Oceanography Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada
PR vs. incidence angle, from quad-polarization data.    Compared to other PR models … PR dependence on   incidence angle We develop a polarization ratio model to improve wind speed retrievals… SAR-wind models
