Evaluation of Sea Surface Wind Products from Scatterometer Onboard the Chinese HY-2D Satellite
Remote Sensing, 2023 The Chinese new marine dynamic environment satellite HY-2D was launched on 19 May 2021, carrying a Ku-band scatterometer (named HSCAT-D). In this study, wind products observed by the HSCAT-D were validated by comparing with wind data from the U.S ...

Reconstructing Marine Boundary Layer Jets Over the South China Sea Using Machine Learning
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.Abstract Marine boundary layer jets (MBLJs) over the South China Sea (SCS) play a critical role in coastal heavy rainfall, yet their structure remains uncertain due to limited wind observations over the ocean. Here, we develop a U‐Net–based reconstruction framework to estimate 950‐hPa winds from satellite‐derived sea surface winds, providing a ...

SWIM: The First Spaceborne Wave Scatterometer [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2017 This paper provides an overview of the surface waves investigation and monitoring (SWIM) instrument which will be one of the two payload instruments carried by China France Oceanography SATellite (CFOSAT) with a planned launch date in mid-2018. SWIM is a real aperture wave scatterometer operated at near-nadir incidence angles and dedicated to the ...

Estimating wind stress at the ocean surface from scatterometer observations [PDF]
, 2013 Wind stress is the most important ocean forcing for driving tropical surface currents. Stress can be estimated from scatterometer-reported wind measurements at 10 m that have been extrapolated to the surface, assuming a neutrally stable atmosphere and no

Potential soil moisture products from the aquarius radiometer and scatterometer using an observing system simulation experiment [PDF]
Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems, 2013 Using an observing system simulation experiment (OSSE), we investigate the potential soil moisture retrieval capability of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Aquarius radiometer (L-band 1.413 GHz) and scatterometer (L-band, 1.260 ...

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Spaceborne radiometers have enabled global sea‐ice distribution observations since 1978, yet design choices associated with conventional daily averaged remote sensing products mean they do not resolve higher‐frequency variability that characterizes Antarctic sea ice.
