Abstract  

We introduce in this paper the Scatterometer mode of Multimode Microwave Sensors on board Chinese Shenzhou-4 unmanned spacecraft launched on Dec. 29, 2002. We first introduce the system components, characteristics and airborne experiment simply, and then, initroduce the data processing and system simulation in detail. We also present the measured wind field during flight experiment and the radar backscattering coefficients over the Amazon rain forest.

Key words:  Shenzhou-4 spacecraft      Multimode microwave sensors      Scatterometer      Sea surface wind field
