| Abstract: |
| Chinese Gaofen-3 (GF-3) is the first civilian satellite to carry C-band (5.3 GHz) synthetic aperture radar (SAR). During the period of August 2016 to December 2017, 1 523 GF-3 SAR images acquired in quad-polarization (vertical-vertical (VV), horizontal-horizontal (HH), vertical-horizontal (VH), and horizontal-vertical (HV)) mode were recorded, mostly around China's seas. In our previous study, the root mean square error (RMSE) of significant wave height (SWH) was found to be around 0.58 m when compared with retrieval results from a few GF-3 SAR images in co-polarization (VV and HH) with moored measurements by using an empirical algorithm CSAR_WAVE. We collected a number of sub-scenes from these 1 523 images in the co-polarization channel, which were collocated with wind and SWH data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis field at a 0.125° grid. Through the collected dataset, an improved empirical wave retrieval algorithm for GF-3 SAR in co-polarization was tuned, herein denoted as CSAR_WAVE2. An additional 92 GF-3 SAR images were implemented in order to validate CSAR_WAVE2 against SWH from altimeter Jason-2, showing an about 0.52 m RMSE of SWH for co-polarization GF-3 SAR. Therefore, we conclude that the proposed empirical algorithm has a good performance for wave retrieval from GF-3 SAR images in co-polarization. |

| 中国高分三号卫星是首个携带C波段（5.3 GHz）合成孔径雷达（SAR）的民用卫星。本研究共收集了1523幅中国海附近2016年8月至2017年12月期间的全极化成像方式的高分三号SAR图像。我们之前的研究显示，使用同极化（VV和HH）高分三号SAR图像，经验算法CSAR_WAVE反演的有效波高（SWH）的均方根误差（RMSE）大约为0.58米左右。1523幅图像的子图像，与空间分辨率为0.125°欧洲中长期天气预报中心（ECMWF）的数据进行匹配。通过收集的数据集，我们提出改进的波浪反演算法CSAR_WAVE2。使用另外92幅高分三号SAR图像进行海浪有效波高反演，与高度计Jason-2的产品进行对比验证，均方根误差为0.52m，因此，结果显示，改进的波浪反演算法在同极化高分三号SAR图像中获得了良好的反演结果。 |
