The Winds and Currents Mission Concept
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 The Winds and Currents Mission (WaCM) is a proposed approach to meet the need identified by the NRC Decadal Survey for the simultaneous measurements of ocean vector winds and currents. WaCM features a Ka-band pencil-beam Doppler scatterometer able to map

The Effect of Error Non-Orthogonality on Triple Collocation Analyses
Remote Sensing, 2022 Triple collocation analysis is an established technique for calculating the relative linear intercalibration coefficients and observation error variances for physical quantities measured simultaneously in space and time by three different observation ...

Improved Use of Scatterometer Measurements by Using Stress-Equivalent Reference Winds
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2017 Numerical weather prediction (NWP) and buoy ocean surface winds show some systematic differences with satellite scatterometer and radiometer wind measurements, both in statistical results and in local geographical regions. It is possible to rescale these

Wind Stress Vector over Ocean Waves
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2003 Abstract Previous investigations of the wind stress in the marine surface layer have primarily focused on determining the stress magnitude (momentum flux) and other scalar variables (e.g., friction velocity, drag coefficient, roughness length). However, the stress vector is often aligned with a direction different from that of the mean wind flow.

On the Optimal Design of Doppler Scatterometers
Remote Sensing, 2018 Pencil-beam Doppler scatterometers are a promising remote sensing tool for measuring ocean vector winds and currents from space. While several point designs exist in the literature, these designs have been constrained by the hardware they inherited, and ...

Southern hemisphere low level wind circulation statisticsfrom the Seasat scatterometer [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1994 Analyses of remotely sensed low-level wind vector data over the Southern Ocean are performed. Five-day averages and monthly means are created and the month-to-month variability during the winter (July-September) of 1978 is investigated.
