A generalized simulation capability for rotating- beam scatterometers [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2019 Rotating-beam wind scatterometers exist in two types: rotating fan-beam and rotating pencil-beam. In our study, a generic simulation frame is established and verified to assess the wind retrieval skill of the three different scatterometers: SCAT on ...

A Reconstruction Approach to Scatterometer Wind Vector Field Retrieval [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2011 This paper approaches wind field estimation from scatterometer measurements as the inversion of a noisy nonlinear sampling operation. The forward sampling model is presented and made discrete for practical purposes. Generally, the wind estimation problem is ill-posed at high resolution, which means that there are more parameters to estimate than ...

Comparison of single-Doppler and multiple-Doppler wind retrievals in Hurricane Matthew (2016) [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement Techniques, 2021 Hurricane Matthew (2016) was observed by the ground-based polarimetric Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) in Miami (KAMX) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration WP-3D (NOAA P-3) airborne tail Doppler radar near the coast of the ...

Sea wave modeling with X-band COSMO-SkyMed© SAR-derived wind field forcing and applications in coastal vulnerability assessment [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2013 In this paper, X-band COSMO-SkyMed© synthetic aperture radar (SAR) wind field data are first used to force coastal wind wave modeling for both sea wave numerical simulation and coastal vulnerability assessment purposes. The SAR-based wind field retrieval

Ocean wind fields retrieved from radar-image sequences [PDF]
IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2003 An algorithm is presented for retrieving wind vectors from radar-image sequences acquired by a standard nautical radar near at near grazing incidence. The radar operates at X-band (9.5 GHz) with horizontal and vertical polarization in transmit and receive. The algorithm consists of two parts, one for wind direction and another for wind speed retrieval.

Algorithm for sea surface wind retrieval from TerraSAR-X and TanDEM-X data [PDF]
, 2014 A Geophysical Model Function (GMF), denoted XMOD2, is developed to retrieve sea surface wind field from Xband TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X (TS-X/TD-X) data. In contrast to the previously developed XMOD1, XMOD2 consists of a nonlinear GMF, and thus, it depicts ...

C-band scatterometer and wind-field retrieval
Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2003 The wind scatterometer is a microwave active sensor capable of simultaneously measuring the normalized radar cross section (?o) of the sea surface with high radiometric accuracy at different azimuth angles. The scattering process governing the electromagnetic wave - sea surface interaction allows these measurements to be related to the sea surface wind

A field-wise wind retrieval algorithm for satellite scatterometers [PDF]
IGARSS '98. Sensing and Managing the Environment. 1998 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing. Symposium Proceedings. (Cat. No.98CH36174), 1998 Traditional satellite scatterometer wind retrieval algorithms consist of point-wise wind estimation and pointwise ambiguity removal. Point-wise estimation yields multiple estimates, or ambiguities, for the average near-surface ocean wind in each scatterometer resolution element, requiring subsequent ambiguity removal.

Validating wind field models for power system impact studies [PDF]
, 2012 To integrate wind power into the electrical power system studies need to be made of its impact. Wind plants are stochastic in nature and this makes them differ from traditional plants. One method to model the stochastic nature of wind plants is to create
