Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for Ocean: A Review
Oceans cover approximately 71% of the Earth's surface and provide numerous services to the environment and humans. Precise, real-time, and large-scale monitoring of the oceanographic parameters is essential for ocean conservation and ...

Southern Ocean response to relative velocity wind stress forcing [PDF]
An eddy-resolving quasigeostrophic model of the Southern Ocean coupled to a dynamic atmospheric mixed layer is used to compare the performance of two different wind stress parameterization schemes.

Relationship between wind speed and aerosol optical depth over remote ocean [PDF]
The effect of wind speed on aerosol optical depth (AOD) at 0.55 μm over remote ocean regions is investigated. Remote ocean regions are defined by the combination of AOD from satellite observation and wind direction from ECMWF.

QuikSCAT and SSM/I ocean surface winds for wind energy [PDF]
Ocean surface winds observed by satellite scatterometer (QuikSCAT) and passive microwave (SMM/I) provide valuable information for wind energy applications. In wind energy two long-term aspects on the offshore wind climate is of concern. One is the 20-year average necessary for the estimation of produced wind power during the life-time of a wind turbine

Pan-Arctic ocean wind and wave data by spaceborne SAR
The Arctic is one of the most significant changing areas on the Earth under the climate change scenario. More regions in the Arctic are becoming ice-free oceans in the melting season or through the whole year.

A two-parameter wind speed algorithm for Ku-band altimeters [PDF]
Globally distributed crossovers of altimeter and scatterometer observations clearly demonstrate that ocean altimeter backscatter correlates with both the near-surface wind speed and the sea state.

Response of the ocean natural carbon storage to projected twenty-first-century climate change [PDF]
The separate impacts of wind stress, buoyancy fluxes, and CO2 solubility on the oceanic storage of natural carbon are assessed in an ensemble of twentieth- to twenty-first-century simulations, using a coupled atmosphere–ocean–carbon cycle model.

Synoptic oceanic wind fields [PDF]
Assessment of the contribution of long-distance storms to the ambient noise background requires a synoptic sampling of the surface wind and wave fields over large oceanic areas. Wind fields based upon satellite observations of cloud cover motions over the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans are operationally reported thrice daily by the National Environmental ...
