Intensity of Satellite Radar-Altimeter Return Power Over Continental Ice: A Potential Measurement of Katabatic Wind Intensity

Au-dessus de glace continentale (Antarctique) des mesures d'altimetrie radar par Seasat (commande automatique de gain) ont ete effectuees. Les variations observees sont dues essentiellement a l'intensite du vent catabatique
