Abstract: The availability of multiple satellite missions with wind measuring capacity has made it more desirable than ever before to integrate wind data from various sources in order to achieve an improved accuracy, resolution, and ...

Abstract: Using the newly available TOPEX Microwave Radiometer (TMR) data spanning 1993 through 2002, a 10-yr climatology of oceanic water vapor (OWV) is constructed, of which the distribution and variation at various spatial?temporal ...

Abstract: Previous research has shown that oceanic water vapor (OWV) is a useful quantity for studying the low-frequency variability of the atmosphere?ocean system. In this work, 10 years (1993?2002) of high-quality OWV data derived ...

Abstract: n this study, a global climatology of swells and wind seas was investigated using near-10-yr collocated wind speed and significant wave height (SWH) measurements from the basic Geophysical Data Record (GDR) of the Jason-1 ...

Abstract: A natural mode refers, in this study, to a periodic oscillation of sea surface temperature (SST) that is geophysically significant on a global, regional, or local scale. Using a newly developed harmonic extraction scheme ...

Abstract: sing the newly available decade-long Argo data for the period 2004?13, a detailed study is carried out on deriving four-dimensional (4D) modality of sea temperature in the upper ocean with emphasis on its interannual ...

Abstract: decade of newly available Argo float data for the period 2004?13 are used to investigate the three-dimensional structures of upper-ocean seasonality with emphasis on the vertical aspects of annual and semiannual cycles, ...

Abstract: he arrival time of ocean swells is an important factor for offshore and coastal engineering and naval and recreational activities, which can also be used in evaluating the numerical wave model. Using the continuity and ...

Abstract: he Haiyang-2A (HY-2A; HaiYang means ocean in Chinese) satellite was successfully launched in China on 16 August 2011, carrying the nation?s first operational radar altimeter along with three other microwave sensors. In ...

Abstract: ea level pressure (SLP) acts, on the one hand, as a ?bridge parameter? to which geophysical properties at the air?sea interface (e.g., wind stress and sea surface height) are linked, and on the other hand, as an ?index ...
