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 ...

High Wind Geophysical Model Function Modeling for the HY-2A Scatterometer Using Neural Network
Remote Sensing, 2022 Under low to medium wind speeds and no rainfall, the retrieved vector wind from a scatterometer is accurate and reliable. However, under high wind conditions, the currently used geophysical model function (GMF), such as NSCAT-2, for wind vector retrieval

Preliminary Results of the CFOSAT Scatterometer [PDF]
IGARSS 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2019 The scatterometer (SCAT) onboard the China-France Oceanography Satellite (CFOSAT) is the first rotating fan-beam scatterometer (RFSCAT) in space for global ocean surface vector wind measurement. After the CFOSAT launched in Oct. 29, 2018, the main performances of the CFOSAT scatterometer (CFOSCAT) are being tested in orbit.
