Azimuth cutoff analysis in <strong>SAR</strong>Tool<br />

• What is <strong>SAR</strong> the <strong>SAR</strong><br />

azimuth cutoff?<br />

• The <strong>SAR</strong> azimuth cutoff is<br />

proportional to the rms of<br />

the line-of-sight<br />

component of the waves’<br />

orbital velocities<br />

• It features the strength of<br />

the Gaussian-like low-pass<br />

azimuthal filtering process<br />

such as expressed in the<br />

quasi-linear spectral<br />

transform of Ocean<br />

spectrum into <strong>SAR</strong><br />
