Abstract High‐resolution observations of ocean surface wind (OSW) are crucial for analyzing and forecasting tropical cyclones; however, current data are insufficient. While data sets such as the Cross‐Calibrated Multiplatform (CCMP) and ERA5 provide gap‐free wind fields, their 25 km resolution and tendency to underestimate cyclone wind speeds limit ...

Abstract In response to the 2017 Decadal Survey, NASA conducted a five‐year study on the Surface Deformation and Change (SDC) designated observable to study potential mission concepts. As part of the SDC mission study, the Commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar (ComSAR) subgroup was tasked with evaluating the current landscape of the SAR and ...

Abstract Baffin Bay is located between Greenland and several islands of the Canadian Arctic, providing a conduit for the downstream transport of ice and freshwater to the North Atlantic via Davis Strait. Using satellite observations from Sentinel‐1, the RADARSAT Constellation Mission, and CryoSat‐2, we estimated the sea ice export through Davis Strait ...

Operational Surface Water Detection and Monitoring Using Radarsat 2
Traditional on-site methods for mapping and monitoring surface water extent are prohibitively expensive at a national scale within Canada. Despite successful cost-sharing programs between the provinces and the federal government, an extensive number of ...

RADARSAT Constellation Mission’s Operational Polarimetric Modes: A User-Driven Radar Architecture
Canada’s Earth-observing RADARSAT Constellation Mission (RCM) is intended to serve operational users. The users’ main objectives were to have routinely available high-quality quantitative information about their applications, with large area coverage ...

Abstract In order to quantify pelagic‐benthic coupling on high‐latitude shelves, it is imperative to identify the different physical mechanisms by which phytoplankton are exported to the sediments. In June–July 2023, a field program documented the evolution of an under‐ice phytoplankton bloom on the northeast Chukchi shelf.

Abstract The three‐dimensional structure of the Tropical Cyclone's baroclinic wake is synthesized as an averaged baroclinic‐dominant response of the upper ocean. The resulting persisting sea surface depression can easily be monitored using the present‐day altimeter constellation.
