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.

Scatterometer resolution enhancement [PDF]
IGARSS '98. Sensing and Managing the Environment. 1998 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing. Symposium Proceedings. (Cat. No.98CH36174), 1998 Scatterometers can be effective for large scale monitoring of the Earth's surface. However, their low resolution can limit the utility of the data. Thus, there is interest in resolution enhancement methods that can create high resolution imagery from scatterometer measurements.

On Bayesian scatterometer wind inversion [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2006 In a quest for a generic unbiased scatterometer wind inversion method, the different inversion procedures currently in use are revisited in this paper. A careful examination of both the errors in the wind and in the measurement domain, combined with the nonlinear shape of the geophysical model function (GMF), leads to a generic and novel Bayesian wind ...
