Improving the Accuracy of the Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) Ocean Vector Winds
Remote Sensing, 2022 The Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) Ocean vector wind analysis is a level-4 product that uses a variational method to combine satellite retrievals of ocean winds with a background wind field from a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model.

Estimating Ocean Vector Winds and Currents Using a Ka-Band Pencil-Beam Doppler Scatterometer
Remote Sensing, 2018 Ocean surface currents and winds are tightly coupled essential climate variables, and, given their short time scales, observing them at the same time and resolution is of great interest.

Anticipating El Niño–related health risks in Latin America and the Caribbean: from climate information to public health preparedness [PDF]
Frontiers in Public HealthEl Niño is a recurrent mode of tropical Pacific climate variability with major public health implications for Latin America and the Caribbean. Its development is partly driven by the Bjerknes feedback, a coupled ocean–atmosphere process in which weakened
