Ocean wave patterns under hurricane gloria: observation with an airborne synthetic-aperture radar

Science. 1977 Nov 11;198(4317):609-10. doi: 10.1126/science.198.4317.609.

Abstract

Surface imagery of ocean waves under Hurricane Gloria (September 1976) has been obtained with an airborne synthetic-aperture imaging radar. Observations were obtained over most of the area within a radius of 150 kilometers around the center of the eye. These direct observations made it possible to derive the wave patterns in the region around a hurricane eye.
