First Retrieval of Sea Surface Currents Using L-Band SAR in Satellite Formation

Overview
The inversion of ocean currents is a significant challenge and area of interest in ocean remote sensing. Spaceborne along-track interferometric synthetic aperture radar (ATI-SAR) has several advantages and benefits, including precise observations, extensive swath coverage, and high resolution. However, a limited number of spaceborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) systems are operating in orbit. Among these, the along-track baseline length is generally suboptimal, resulting in low inversion accuracy and difficulty in achieving operational stability. One of the approaches involves employing lower-frequency bands such as the L band to increase the baseline length to achieve the optimal baseline for a satellite formation. The LuTan-1 mission, the world’s first L-band distributed spaceborne InSAR system, was successfully launched on 27 February 2022. L-band distributed formation operation provides insight into the development of future spaceborne ATI systems with application to new exploration regimes and under optimal baseline conditions. There are two novel aspects of this investigation: (1) We described the ocean current inversion process and results based on LuTan-1 SAR data for the first time. (2) A cross-track baseline component phase removal method based on parameterized modeling was proposed for distributed InSAR systems. Both qualitative and quantitative comparisons validated the effectiveness and accuracy of the inversion results.
