Examines the extension of two-frequency, or deltak, near-nadir remote sensing techniques to off-nadir radar altimetry. A different approach to sea state sensing is investigated which appears to offer much higher accuracy. The deltak method of sensing rough-surface area correlation or ocean wavenumber spectrum is then examined. The technique shows promise of directly sensing this parameter in contrast with synthetic-aperture radar methods which are based on complex wave interaction mechanisms and mathematical transformations requiring the acquisition of voluminous data.
