Backscatter of RadarSat-1 SAR images for incidence angles between 20° to 70° at an ocean area is caused by Bragg scattering. The Bragg-scale waves created based on the response of the ocean to the wind stress. Therefore, wind direction can be retrieved in radar images from the orientation of the win...
