Abstract: The Special Sensor Microwave Imagers (SSM/I) aboard three DMSP satellites have provided a large dataset of surface wind speeds over the global oceans from July 1987 to the present. These data are characterized by high ...

Abstract: The realism of extratropical cyclones, fronts, jet streams, and the tropopause in the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) general circulation model (GCM), implemented in assimilation and simulation modes, is evaluated ...

Abstract: Satellite scatterometer observations of the ocean surface wind speed and direction improve the depiction of storms at sea. Over the ocean, scatterometer surface winds are deduced from multiple measurements of reflected ...
