Figure 3. Measurements of Jason-1 and Envisat for the year 2011, totally $653$ in cross-over points. Scatter diagrams for a) – significant wave height; b) – normalized radar cross-section; c) – single-track estimates of wave periods by the model B14; d) – "full" estimate of wave period $T_{\rm B14}^{\rm full}$ vs mean-over spectrum wave period $T_{\rm G03}$ of the model G03 in crossover points; e, f) – histograms of the ratio $\mu_{\rm tr}/\mu_{\rm full}$ (single-track to the full-gradient estimates) for Envisat (left) and Jason-1 (right) in crossover points. Solid line shows {distribution for the probabilistic model (12)} of the measured single-track $\mu_{\rm track}$ with evenly distributed angles between satellite track and wave height spatial gradient $\nabla H_s$.
