Acquisition of the Wide Swath Significant Wave Height from HY-2C through Deep Learning

Significant wave height (SWH) is of great importance in industries such as ocean engineering, marine resource development, shipping and transportation. Haiyang-2C (HY-2C), the second operational satellite in China’s ocean dynamics exploration series, can provide all-weather, all-day, global observat...
