Ocean Vector Wind Measurements from GPM to Study Diurnal Cycles of Tropical Winds
2021 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium IGARSS, 2021This paper presents a combined active/passive ocean vector wind (OVW) retrieval from the Global Precipitation Measurement Core Observatory (GPM-CO). Although the GPM-CO was designed to observe global precipitation, we demonstrate the potential for providing a climate quality OVW data product for the multi-decade GPM- TRMM era.

A Statistical Approach to WindSat Ocean Surface Wind Vector Retrieval
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2006WindSat is the first space-based polarimetric microwave radiometer. It is designed to evaluate the capability of polarimetric microwave radiometry to measure ocean surface wind vectors from space. The sensor provides risk reduction for the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System Conical Scanning Microwave Imager/Sounder ...

An Ocean Surface Wind Vector Model Function for a Spaceborne Microwave Radiometer
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2007Surface wind vector measurements over the oceans are vital for scientists and forecasters to understand the Earth's global weather and climate. In the last two decades, operational measurements of global ocean wind speeds were obtained from passive microwave radiometers (Special Sensor Microwave/ Imagers); and over this period, full ocean surface wind ...

Comparison of ocean surface vector winds observed by SeaWinds on ADEOS-II with ocean buoy data
IEEE International IEEE International IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2004. IGARSS '04. Proceedings. 2004, 2004Wind vectors observed by SeaWinds on ADEOS-II are compared with wind and wave data from offshore moored buoys. The wind data were collocated with buoy observations operated by the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC), Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO), and Pilot Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) projects. Only buoys located offshore and

On the Generation of Daily Gridded Ocean Surface Vector Wind Products From Scatsat-1
IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Letters, 2022An optimal interpolation (OI)-based technique is utilized to generate global daily gridded wind products from Scatsat-1 data. The first guess (i.e., background) for the OI is used from the analyses of National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (

Microwave Scatterometer Measurements of Oceanic Wind Vector
1981The remote sensing of oceanic wind vector using microwave scatterometry has come of age. During the I960’s when this technique was in its infancy, there were two major issues which cast doubt on its usefulness. First, there was serious debate on whether or not the normalized radar cross section of the ocean saturated beyond wind speeds of approximately

Uncertainty of Atmospheric Winds in Three Widely Used Global Reanalysis Datasets
Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2023Atmospheric winds are crucial to the transport of heat, moisture, momentum, and chemical species, facilitating Earth’s climate system interactions. Existing weather and climate studies rely heavily on the wind fields from reanalysis datasets.

Polarimetric passive remote sensing of ocean wind vectors
Proceedings of IGARSS '94 - 1994 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002Presents the first experimental evidence that the polarimetric brightness temperatures of sea surfaces are sensitive to ocean wind direction in the incidence angle range of 30 to 50 degrees. The experimental data were collected by a K-band (19.35 GHz) polarimetric radiometer (WINDRAD) mounted on the NASA DC-8 aircraft.
