Long Term Assimilation of Directional Wave Data From CFOSAT in the Wave Prediction Model MFWAM

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Recently, satellite wave observations have stepped forward with the innovative measurements from the wave scatterometer SWIM of the CFOSAT mission which provides both the significant wave height (SWH) along‐track at nadir look and the directional wave spectra on off‐nadir incidence angle.

Ten Years of SeaWinds on QuikSCAT for Snow Applications

Remote Sensing, 2010
The scatterometer SeaWinds on QuikSCAT provided regular measurements at Ku-band from 1999 to 2009. Although it was designed for ocean applications, it has been frequently used for the assessment of seasonal snowmelt patterns aside from other terrestrial ...

Observation‐Based Estimates of Vertical Velocity in the Tropical Upper Oceans

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Equatorial upwelling plays a crucial role in regulating regional climate variability and biological productivity from seasonal to interannual time scales. Typically, sea surface temperature or surface chlorophyll anomalies are used as proxies for upwelling because of the challenges in directly measuring vertical velocities.

Impacts of Bogus Vortex Initialization Using Scatterometer-Derived 34 kt Wind Radii and Centers on Tropical Cyclone Forecasts

Remote Sensing
This study demonstrates the positive impact of scatterometer wind-based bogus vortex initialization on forecasts of Typhoon Doksuri (2023). In this scheme, the NCEP analysis vortex in the initial conditions is replaced with a bogus vortex.

Assimilating Advanced Scatterometer Winds in a High-Resolution Limited Area Model Over Northern Europe

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2017
Satellite-based scatterometer ocean surface wind measurements have been shown to improve global weather forecasts through data assimilation. However, these scatterometer data are not yet widely assimilated operationally in high-resolution regional models.

Development of a Mesoscale‐ and Tide‐Resolving Ocean–Biogeochemistry Model for the Pacific: Tidal Enhancement of the Biological Carbon Pump

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract This study presents a new physical‐biogeochemical simulation of the Pacific Ocean that resolves mesoscale dynamics and explicitly includes tidal forcing. The primary objective is to develop and document a modeling framework that serves both as a detailed record of model configuration and forcing preparation, and as a reference for future ...

The Viers Scatterometer Algorithm

, 1996
Various backscatter theories have been investigated in a tank experiment. A simple t.wo-scale model performed better than other more complicated models. In combination with an air-sea interaction module the two-scale model provides the physical basis for the present Viers scatterometer algorithm.
