Journal ArticleDOI
Rain Detection and Quality Control of SeaWinds
Marcos Portabella,Ad Stoffelen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the normalized residual (Rn) was defined for QuikSCAT and validated using collocated Special Sensor Microwave Imager rain and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts wind data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation and Calibration of ASCAT Using CMOD5.n
TL;DR: The ASCAT Wind Data Processor, developed at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, applies the bias correction factors to ASCAT data and uses CMOD5.n to retrieve wind vectors in order to produce an operational wind product which is of high quality and satisfies its wind component accuracy requirement of 2 m ?
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward an optimal inversion method for synthetic aperture radar wind retrieval
TL;DR: A SAR wind retrieval method that combines the SAR information with some background information coming from high-resolution limited area model to retrieve the most probable wind vector, assuming that all sources of information contain errors and that these are well characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a summary of SSS retrieval from SMOS observations and show initial results obtained one year after launch, but also indicate that further improvements at various data processing levels are needed and hence are currently under investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
On Scatterometer Ocean Stress
Marcos Portabella,Ad Stoffelen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical scatterometer ocean stress (SOS) product is estimated and validated using available statistical information using a triple collocation dataset of scatterometer, and moored buoy and numerical weather prediction (NWP) observations together with two commonly used surface layer (SL) models.
