Rotating Fan Beam Scatterometer
A Rotating Fan Beam SCATterometer, RFSCAT, will be flown in the Chinese-French
Oceanic SATellite (CFOSAT) mission, following simulations based on software
generated in the RFSCAT project. The collaborative effort of KNMI, IFARSS, and
Astrium (GmbH) to simulate RFSCAT and compare it to existing scatterometers is
briefly described in the overview paper from the SPIE proceedings of 2002
as referred to below. The project was led and funded by ESA.
The RFSCAT simulator software can be downloaded from
GitHub.
