On Scatterometer Ocean Stress [PDF]
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2009 Abstract Scatterometers estimate the relative atmosphere–ocean motion at spatially high resolution and provide accurate inertial-scale ocean wind forcing information, which is crucial for many ocean, atmosphere, and climate applications.

Back-Projected Signal-Based Self-Interferometric Phase Analysis Technique for Sea Surface Observation Using a Single Scatterometer System [PDF]
Sensors, 2023 This manuscript presents a self-interferometric phase analysis technique for sea surface observation using a single scatterometer system. The self-interferometric phase is proposed to complement the imprecise analysis results due to the very meager ...

ASCAT scatterometer ocean calibration
2007 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2007 A new scatterometer, the so-called Advanced scatterometer (ASCAT), onboard MetOp-A satellite was successfully launched on October 19 2006. During the commissioning phase one of the main goals is to accurately calibrate the instrument. The radar backscatter has been calibrated using three ground-based transponders in February 2008.

THE SCATTEROMETER AS A PRESSURE SENSOR
Gayana, 2004 The UW Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) model is used to derive surface pressure fields from scatterometer surface measurements. After a decade of comparison with NMC wind products, it is clear that the combination of the scatterometer and the PBL model ...
