Interannual Variability in Weddell Sea Ice from Ers Wind Scatterometer
ERS-1/2 SAR and Wind Scatterometer data are analyzed together with DMSP SSM/I microwave radiometer data to investigate interannual variability in Weddell Sea ice and summer melt signatures during the period 1992-1997. Simultaneous SAR and Scatterometer images were obtained during a February 1995 cruise of the H.M.S. Endurance and aerial photographs collected for validation of the satellite obse...
متن کاملA Physically-based Model of Ocean Backscatter for Wind Speed Retrieval from Sar, Scatterometer and Altimeter
A comprehensive theoretical model of radar backscatter from the ocean surface is discussed. It combines alternative models of the interaction between the wind and the sea surface, and different descriptions of the ocean waveheight spectrum of wind seas, with two alternative scattering theories, namely the composite-surface model and the integral equation method. The effects of swell, limited fe...
متن کاملBackscatter Variability Observed in C-Band and Ku-Band Scatterometer Data
The backscatter from ocean waves measured by scatterometers is primarily determined by the speed and direction of near-surface wind, while other influences (temperature, salinity, swell, etc.) appear to be secondary effects. A complete theoretical geophysical model, incorporating all influences on the backscatter, appears beyond the current state of science; empirical estimates of the wind-back...
متن کاملAscat Scatterometer Wind Data Processing
The Advanced scatterometer, ASCAT, on MetOp-A was launched on 19 October 2006 as the third wind scatterometer currently in space joining up with the ERS-2 and the SeaWinds scatterometers. Scatterometers measure the radar backscatter from wind-generated cm-size gravity-capillary waves and provide highresolution wind vector fields over the sea with high quality. In this paper we show progress in ...
متن کاملQuantifying Model Output Uncertainty Due to Spatial Variability of Rainfall'
Traditionally in the application of hydrologic/water quality (H/WQ) models, rainfall is assumed to be spatially homogeneous and is considered not to contribute to output uncertainty. The objective of this study was to assess the uncertainty induced in model outputs solely due to rainfall spatial variability. The study was conducted using the AGNPS model and the rainfall pattern captured by a ne...
