The Oregon Department of Forestry, in cooperation with the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, offers this publication as a guide for cities and counties to use in the development of urban forest practice regulations.
Calculation of vector winds from spaceborne fan-beam scatterometers requires that backscatter measurements from different antennas be relatively calibrated to high accuracy. A method is developed to perform postlaunch antenna calibration using global mean ocean backscatter measurements in conjunction with estimates of the statistical distribution of near-surface wind velocity and the...
