SENTINEL-1 NRCS vs Model Wind

Principle:
The calibration coefficient is estimated over sea based on the knowledge we have of the Normalized Radar Cross Section (level and behavior) with respect of geophysical (ocean Surface wind speed and direction relative to antenna look angle) and radar (polarization, incidence angle) parameters.
