Studies of the radar cross section variations near the frontal boundary during FasinexThe relationship between Amscat scatterometer measurements during Fasinex (the Frontal Air-Sea Interaction Experiment) and surface winds, waves, and surface stress is studied. Fasinex, which took place during the winter/spring of 1985-1986, focused on an oceanic front in the subtropical convergence zone southwest of Bermuda. Particular attention is given to data collected on February 18 when the Ku-band scatterometer measured the radar cross sections along two 80-km flight paths that ran north-south, approximately perpendicular to the front boundary.
