Editorial for Special Issue “Ocean Radar”
This Special Issue hosts papers related to ocean radars including the high-frequency (HF) surface wave and sky wave radars, X-, L-, K-band marine radars, airborne scatterometers, and altimeter. The topics covered by these papers include sea surface wind,

Satellite radiance observations are spatially thinned using a grid‐based selection that retains one representative profile per cell. When observation errors are spatially correlated but treated as uncorrelated in the assimilation system, reducing thinning increases their influence, leading to overfitting and reduced analysis fit with other observations.

Enhancement of the Nighttime Ocean Cool Skin Effect by Natural Surfactants
Abstract The ocean interface brightness temperature is sensitive to the biologic activity reflected by the chlorophyll‐a concentration (Chla) in the upper layers of the oceans. This is shown using sea surface skin temperatures Tskin retrieved from spectra recorded by the Infrared Atmospheric Sounder Interferometer and collocated measurements of bulk ...

Evaluation of ISS-RapidScat Wind Vectors Using Buoys and ASCAT Data
The International Space Station scatterometer (named ISS-RapidScat) was launched by NASA on 20 September 2014 as a continuation of the QuikSCAT climate data record to maintain the availability of Ku-band scatterometer data after the QuikSCAT missions ...

3D Atmospheric Imprint of Mesoscale Eddies Driven by the Thermal Feedback in the Gulf Stream Region
Abstract The 3D imprint of mesoscale ocean eddies on the overlying atmosphere is investigated using coupled ocean‐atmosphere high‐resolution simulation of the Gulf Stream region, distinguishing cyclones and anticyclones. Sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies are predominantly warm for anticyclones and cold for cyclones, driving a Thermal Feedback ...
