Abstract: A good assessment of the information content of scatterometer winds is particularly important in order to assimilate them in weather analysis. Besides retrieval problems in cases of a confused sea state, a particularly ...

Abstract: Scatterometers estimate the relative atmosphere?ocean motion at spatially high resolution and provide accurate inertial-scale ocean wind forcing information, which is crucial for many ocean, atmosphere, and climate ...

Abstract: he Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) on the Meteorological Operational (MetOp) series of satellites is designed to provide data for the retrieval of ocean wind fields. Three transponders were used to give an absolute calibration ...
