Summary

• What is new: Introduction of HEEPS/MARE, an end-to-end simulator for ESA’s Harmony mission, focusing on simulating large, dynamic oceanic areas.
• Why this is important: Existing tools insufficient for simulating heterogeneous, moving oceanic regions for SAR/ATI data acquisition.
• What the research proposes: Developed HEEPS/MARE using an advanced heterogeneous sea-surface model and bistatic scattering with multi-GPU support.
• Results: Successful simulation of bistatic IQ signals that can map wind and surface current vectors at kilometric scale.
