C-band scatterometers are active, non-imaging scatterometers that measure microwave backscatter. They are typically used to measure ocean surface winds but can also measure ice, vegetation, and soil surface properties. They operate in the C-band frequency range (4-8 GHz) and can provide measurements during both daytime and nighttime.
