Ultrahigh Resolution Scatterometer Winds near Hawaii

, 2020
Hawaii regional climate model (HRCM), QuikSCAT, and ASCAT wind estimates are compared in the lee of Hawaii’s Big Island with the goal of understanding ultrahigh resolution (UHR) scatterometer wind retrieval capabilities in this area, which includes

Impacts of Bogus Vortex Initialization Using Scatterometer-Derived 34 kt Wind Radii and Centers on Tropical Cyclone Forecasts

Remote Sensing
This study demonstrates the positive impact of scatterometer wind-based bogus vortex initialization on forecasts of Typhoon Doksuri (2023). In this scheme, the NCEP analysis vortex in the initial conditions is replaced with a bogus vortex.

Mesoscale Eddy Currents Reshape the Spatial Distribution of Wave Height in the Southern Ocean

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale eddy currents influence ocean surface waves, but their imprints on wave height remain poorly described by observations. Here, we examine significant wave height (SWH) variations associated with more than 42,000 mesoscale eddies in the Southern Ocean using along‐track Jason‐3 altimeter measurements.

Wave steepness retrieved from scatterometer data in a genetic algorithm

, 2012
Wave steepness is an important characteristic of a high sea state, and is widely applied on wave propagations at ports, ships, offshore platforms, and CO2 circulation in the ocean.

Assimilating Advanced Scatterometer Winds in a High-Resolution Limited Area Model Over Northern Europe

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2017
Satellite-based scatterometer ocean surface wind measurements have been shown to improve global weather forecasts through data assimilation. However, these scatterometer data are not yet widely assimilated operationally in high-resolution regional models.

Scatterometer backscatter uncertainty due to wind variability

, 2013
Wind retrieval from scatterometer backscatter measurements is not trivial. A good assessment of the different measurement uncertainties inherent in scatterometer systems is very important for successful wind retrieval and quality control.
