Abstract: Synoptic-scale surface wind fields are developed using data from two Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/1) passive radiometers and the European Remote Sensing Satellite-1 (ERS-1) scatterometer for the lifetime of two ...

Abstract: The differences between Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) anemometer and QuikSCAT scatterometer winds are analyzed over a period of 3 yr. Systematic differences are expected owing to ocean currents because the anemometer ...

Abstract: Storm-track analysis is applied to the meridional winds at 10 m and 850 hPa for the winters of 1999?2006. The analysis is focused on the North Atlantic and North Pacific Ocean basins and the Southern Ocean spanning the ...

Abstract: There was an opportunity to compare 10 months of collocated National Aeronautics and Space Administration scatterometer (NSCAT) wind vectors with those from the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoy array, located in the ...
