One- and Two-Dimensional Wind Speed Models for Ka-Band Altimetry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ARAL?the Satellite with ARgos and ALtiKa?is the first satellite radar altimetry mission to fly a Ka-band instrument (AltiKa). Ocean backscatter measurements in the Ka band suffer larger signal attenuation due to water vapor ...
Marine Wind and Wave Height Trends at Different ERA-Interim Forecast Ranges
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rends in marine wind speed and significant wave height are investigated using the global reanalysis ERA-Interim over the period 1979?2012, based on monthly-mean and monthly-maximum data. Besides the traditional reanalysis, ...
Error Estimation of Buoy, Satellite, and Model Wave Height Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Triple collocation is a powerful method to estimate the rms error in each of three collocated datasets, provided the errors are not correlated. Wave height analyses from the operational European Centre for Medium-Range ...
