Satellite measurements reveal persistent small-scale features in ocean winds.
TL;DR: Four-year averages of 25-kilometer-resolution measurements of near-surface wind speed and direction over the global ocean from the QuikSCAT satellite radar scatterometer reveal the existence of surprisingly persistent small-scale features in the dynamically and thermodynamically important curl and divergence of the wind stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, satellite measurements of surface wind stress from the QuikSCAT scatterometer and sea surface temperature (SST) from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager are analyzed for the three-month period 21 July−20 October 1999 to investigate ocean-atmosphere coupling in the eastern tropical Pacific.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spaceborne radar measurement of wind velocity over the ocean-an overview of the NSCAT scatterometer system
TL;DR: The NSCAT system includes several enhancements, such as three antenna azimuths in each of two swaths, and an onboard digital Doppler processor to allow backscatter measurements to be colocated everywhere within the orbit as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scatterometer-Based Assessment of 10-m Wind Analyses from the Operational ECMWF and NCEP Numerical Weather Prediction Models
TL;DR: In this paper, the accuracies of the NSCAT and SeaWinds scatterometers were compared with buoy observations to establish that the accuracy of both scatterometers are essentially the same.
Journal ArticleDOI
The accuracy of the NSCAT 1 vector winds: Comparisons with National Data Buoy Center buoys
TL;DR: The overall accuracies of vector wind measurements from the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT) are quantified by comparisons with collocated data from operational US National Data Buoy Center ocean buoys.
