A critical evaluation of (scatterometer-based) ocean surface wind products over sea

By combining satellite observations and model reanalysis winds, a global data set with higher temporal and spatial resolution ocean surface wind fields can be generated. These superior surface wind fields can have various applications, such as wind forcing of ocean models. The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) is responsible for...

DopSCA, Scatterometer-based Simultaneous Ocean Vector Current and Wind Estimation

Satellite wind scatterometers like the MetOp SG (Second Generation) SCA of Eumetsat are not designed to measure ocean currents, yet if they could, it would improve the wind vector product and provide important additional information to the oceanographic community for various applications. Previous publications showed this possibility, but only...
