Analysis of Small Sea-Surface Targets Detection Performance According to Airborne Radar Parameters in Abnormal Weather Environments

Hamza Bounaceur et al.

Summary: With the rapid development of marine radar, detecting and tracking small-sized targets with low signal-to-clutter ratio has become a crucial concern. Analyzing the radar system performance in a maritime environment involves considering radar input parameters, atmospheric propagation medium, sea clutter characterization, and target type. Additionally, factors such as atmospheric attenuations and sea clutter statistical models need to be taken into account to estimate the impact on detection performance.

Towards the Sea Wind Measurement with the Airborne Scatterometer Having the Rotating-Beam Antenna Mounted over Fuselage

Alexey Nekrasov et al.

Summary: The study extends the applicability of existing airborne radars through radar technology, evaluating the sea surface wind measurement capability by comparing the backscatter with the geophysical model function. The study also takes into account the partial shading of the water surface by the aircraft. The results show promise for the development of new remote sensing systems and functional enhancement of existing airborne radars.

Target Detection Within Nonhomogeneous Clutter Via Total Bregman Divergence-Based Matrix Information Geometry Detectors

Xiaoqiang Hua et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a total Bregman divergence-based matrix information geometry detector for target detection in nonhomogeneous clutter. By discriminating two points on the HPD matrix manifold, signal detection problem is formulated and three TBD-MIG detectors achieve great performance. Simulation results show the advantage of the proposed TBD-MIG detectors over other methods.

Validation of the High-Altitude Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler during the Tampa Bay Rain Experiment

Jonathan Coto et al.

Summary: This paper presents the validation of rain rate and wind speed measurements from the HIWRAP instrument using data from multiple independent systems. The results show that the wind and rain rates produced by HIWRAP are consistent with existing ground and satellite estimates, providing validation of the instrument's geolocation, calibration, and retrieval algorithms.
