A method for estimating the near-surface wind vector over water using the airborne weather radar in addition to its standard navigational application is discussed.A case of an airplane rectilinear flight over the water surface is considered.The radar operates in the ground-mapping mode in the range of middle incidence angles as a scatterometer.Wind vector is recovered from the azimuth normalized radar cross section data obtained from a scanning sector.Algorithms for extracting the wind speed and direction are proposed.
