On the Optimal Design of Doppler Scatterometers [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2018 Pencil-beam Doppler scatterometers are a promising remote sensing tool for measuring ocean vector winds and currents from space. While several point designs exist in the literature, these designs have been constrained by the hardware they inherited, and the design is sub-optimal.

Exploiting Aeolus winds in a regional numerical weather prediction model
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Aeolus measured winds have proven to be beneficial for global models. However, demonstrating positive impact for limited‐area models has been a challenge so far. For the first time, we have demonstrated a statistically significant positive impact of Aeolus winds in a limited‐area model by using the 4DVar data assimilation technique and the most recent ...
