Intercalibration of ASCAT Scatterometer Winds from MetOp-A, -B, and -C, for a Stable Climate Data Record

Remote Sensing, 2021
Scatterometers provide very stable ocean vector wind data records. This is because they measure the ratio of backscattered to incident microwave signal over the ocean surface as opposed to an absolute quantity (e.g., emitted microwave signal).

Characteristics of the Yamase Winds over Oceans around Japan Observed by the Scatterometer-Derived Ocean Surface Vector Winds

Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan. Ser. II, 2006
Yamase is the name for local northeasterly winds that blow from the Pacific Ocean to the east coastsof Hokkaido, and the Tohoku District from May to August. They are cool and moist winds accompanied by low-level clouds. In the present study, we investigate the Yamase winds over the oceans around Japan, using ocean surface vector winds observed by a ...

Examination of the Daily Cycle Wind Vector Modes of Variability from the Constellation of Microwave Scatterometers and Radiometers

Remote Sensing, 2021
Offshore of many coastal regions, the ocean surface wind varies in speed and direction throughout the day, owing to forcing from land/sea temperature differences and orographic effects.
