Observing Interactions Between Waves, Winds, and Currents From SWOT
Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission enables, for the first time, two‐dimensional (2D) mapping of significant wave height Hs $\left({H}_{s}\right)$ at kilometer‐scale resolution. Using data from SWOT's Ka‐band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn), this study investigates interactions between surface waves, winds, and ...

Sea surface winds and waves are very important phenomena that exist in the air–sea boundary layer. With the advent of climate change, cascade effects are bringing more attention to these phenomena as warmer sea surface temperatures bring about stronger ...

Abstract Hazardous sea surface conditions can develop during storm events, when wind‐generated waves and storm surges coincide with high astronomical tides. For better understanding of these conditions, a novel and computationally efficient real‐time forecast model (COASTLINES‐BoF) was developed for a macrotidal bay that is exposed to wind waves, the ...

Evaluation of Chinese Scatterometer Ocean Surface Wind Data: Preliminary Analysis
Three scatterometers have been launched in China including Haiyang‐2A scatterometer (HY‐2A/SCAT), Haiyang‐2B scatterometer (HY‐2B/SCAT), and China French Oceanography Satellite scatterometer (CFOSCAT).

Abstract Asian megadeltas, specifically the Ganges‐Brahmaputra‐Meghna, Irrawaddy, Chao Phraya, Mekong, and Red River deltas host half of the world's deltaic population and are vital for Asian countries' ecosystems and food production. These deltas are extremely vulnerable to global change. Accelerating relative sea‐level rise, combined with rapid socio‐

Intelligent Identification of Ocean Surface Rainfall from CFOSAT Scatterometer Observations
The China–France Oceanography Satellite scatterometer (CSCAT) provides up to 16 multiangular normalized radar cross-section (NRCS) slices, which serve as rich information sources for high-quality ocean surface wind retrieval. However, rainfall can

A Novel Sea State Classification Scheme of the Global CFOSAT Wind and Wave Observations
Abstract Ocean waves are essential elements across the air‐sea interface, regulating momentum and energy transfer. The mixture of wind sea and ocean swell coupled with surface winds results in diverse sea state conditions that modify the local air‐sea interaction. Previous classifications of wind waves and swells are mostly binary that are insufficient

Australian Ocean surface waves dataset from SAR
In this article, a first regional Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) ocean surface waves dataset, containing directional ocean swell spectra measurements from Europe's Sentinel‐1 A and B satellites, is described. The goal is to support marine scientific and industrial research in Australia.

What Can Hurricane Sam (2021) Tell Us About Extreme Ocean Waves Under Tropical Cyclones?
Abstract We investigate the ocean wave field under Hurricane Sam (2021). Whilst measurements of waves under Tropical Cyclones are rare, an unusually large number of quality in situ and remote measurements are available in that case. First, we highlight the good consistency between the wave spectra provided by the Surface Waves Investigation and ...
