First Assessment of CyGNSS-Incorporated SMAP Sea Surface Salinity Retrieval Over Pan-Tropical Ocean

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2021
In sea surface salinity (SSS) retrieval using L-band passive radiometry, radiometer-independent ocean wind speed is needed as auxiliary data. Wind speed data from scatterometer and weather models are commonly used as auxiliary data in satellite SSS ...

FY3E GNOS II GNSS Reflectometry: Mission Review and First Results

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
FengYun-3E (FY3E), launched on 5 July 2021, is one of China’s polar-orbiting meteorological satellite series. The GNOS II onboard FY3E is an operational GNSS remote sensor that for the first time combines GNSS radio occultation (GNSS RO) and GNSS ...

Wind work at the air-sea interface: a modeling study in anticipation of future space missions [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2022
Wind work at the air-sea interface is the transfer of kinetic energy between the ocean and the atmosphere and, as such, is an important part of the ocean-atmosphere coupled system.

An ocean model's response to scatterometer winds [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Modelling, 2005
Abstract Two simulations of the North Atlantic have been run using the POP ocean model for approximately two and one half years each. One simulation used the 1.25° wind product from ECMWF and the other used the JPL Quikscat 0.25° gridded product.

Impact on Sea-Surface Electromagnetic Scattering and Emission Modeling of Recent Progress on the Parameterization of Ocean Surface Roughness, Drag Coefficient, and Whitecap Coverage in High Wind Conditions

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020
Ocean surface wind stress is the force generating ocean surface roughness and whitecaps. The surface wind stress is related to the surface wind speed by the drag coefficient.

Wind-tunnel pressure measurements on model-scale rigid downwind sails [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper describes an experiment that was carried out in the Twisted Flow Wind Tunnel at The University of Auckland to measure a detailed set of pressure distributions on a rigid 1/15th scale model of a modern asymmetric spinnaker. It was observed that

Algorithm for sea surface wind retrieval from TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A Geophysical Model Function (GMF), denoted XMOD2, is developed to retrieve sea surface wind field from Xband TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X (TS-X/TD-X) data. In contrast to the previously developed XMOD1, XMOD2 consists of a nonlinear GMF, and thus, it depicts ...

Characterizing the Effect of Ocean Surface Currents on Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) Winds Using Open Ocean Moored Buoy Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
The ocean surface current influences the roughness of the sea surface, subsequently affecting the scatterometer’s measurement of wind speed. In this study, the effect of surface currents on ASCAT-retrieved winds is investigated based on in-situ ...
