The scanning-beam radar ocean-wave spectrometer (ROWS) technique is described and a 'strawman' design for a ROWS mode on Spectrasat is presented. In the proposed design, two pencil beams separated by a few degrees in elevation are used to measure the cross-section roll-off. In addition to providing the requisite data for the tilt sensitivity, these measurements will provide a means of estimating the wind vector over the swath.
