The Improved C - Band Geophysical Model Function Cmod 5
This paper describes the performance of CMOD5, a new C-band geophysical model function, relating scatterometer backscatter to surface vector wind information over the global oceans. It was derived on the basis of a comparison of scatterometer triplets from the Active Microwave Instrument (AMI) aboard the ERS-2 satellite with collocated ECMWF first-guess winds. In addition, results from recent a...
متن کاملOcean Remote Sensing with Airborne K.-Band Scatterometer
A bstnzct An airborne Ku-band scatterometer (NUSCAT) was used to measure ocean backscatters during the Surface Wave Dynamics Experiment (S WADE). The objective is to improve understanding of the relationship between ocean radar backscatter and near surface winds. BackScatter measurements are presented for Gulf-Stream boundary, low wind, and large wave effects. Over the boundary crossings, large...
متن کاملAzimuthal modulation of C-band scatterometer σ0 over Southern Ocean sea ice
In a continuing evaluation of the ERS-1 C-band scatterometer as a tool for studying polar sea ice, we evaluate the azimuthal modulation characteristics of Antarctic sea ice. ERS-1 AMI scatterometer mode data sets from several study regions dispersed in the Antarctic seasonal sea ice pack are evaluated for azimuthal modulation. When appropriate, the incidence angle dependence is estimated and re...

متن کاملA Scatterometer Geophysical Model Function for Climate-Quality Winds: QuikSCAT Ku-2011
Space-based observations of ocean surface winds have been available for more than 25 years. To combine the observations from multiple sensors into one record with the accuracy required for climate studies requires a consistentmethodology and calibration standard for the various instruments. This study describes a new geophysical model function (GMF) specifically developed for preparing the Quik...
