Wind Shear u Doppler = u wind + u cur + u orb + u break + u graz + u rem Generally accepted: Wind shear velocity is approx. 3-4 % of the wind speed (e.g. Wright and Keller 1971, Shemdin 1972) Wind stress depends on wave shape and local phase.

16 Wind Shear u Doppler = u wind + u cur + u orb + u break + u graz + u rem Generally accepted: Wind shear velocity is approx. 3-4 % of the wind speed (e.g. Wright and Keller 1971, Shemdin 1972) Wind stress depends on wave shape and local phase. Is there a need to consider a non-uniform wind drift? How can we parametrize this? 16

17 Wave Breaking u Doppler = u wind + u cur + u orb + u break + u graz + u rem Wave breaking detection The polarization ratio HH/VV is not always available. Alternative algorithms for a breaker detection? uu oooooo /cc pp is not explicitly determinable for irregular waves Spectral bandwidth at LGA 17

Additional Effects at Extremely Grazing Incidence u Doppler = u wind + u cur + u orb + u break + u graz + u rem Macro shadowing (resolved by the radar) Micro shadowing (smaller than the radar range

18 Additional Effects at Extremely Grazing Incidence u Doppler = u wind + u cur + u orb + u break + u graz + u rem Macro shadowing (resolved by the radar) Micro shadowing (smaller than the radar range resolution) Miret et al. 2014: the blow-up of the mean Doppler shift at grazing angle is associated to an electromagnetic sharp edge effect on the large surface crests rather than geometrical shadowing of the troughs. Is there an additional effect of sub-grid shadowing? 18

19 Discussion u Doppler = u wind + u cur + u orb + u break + u graz + u rem wind Wave coherent wind drift? current wave orbital velocity Detection methods? wave breaking grazing angle remaining Sub-grid influences shadowing? 19
