Remote Ocean Wave Spectrometer (ROWS)
An airborne remote sensor used to support the development and refinement of satellite radars that measure the ocean surface. It is an instrument which uses the specular backscatter from a rotating near–nadir radar to estimate the two-dimensional ocean surface wave spectrum. ROWS is implemented from aircraft flying 5–10 km above the ocean.
