Synthetic Aperture Radar Marine User's Manual Explains, with examples, the types of information that may be obtained from SAR images of the ocean, and methods of analyzing the imagery.  It is intended for non-expert but scientifically literate workers who wish to use synthetic aperture data in their studies but who does quite understand how to interpret the signatures.
