The Wavenumber Spectra of Scatterometer-derived Winds
Spaceborne scatterometers are the only proven method for global all-weather measurement of vector winds at the ocean’s surface. Such measurements are critical inputs in studies of oceanic circulation and air/seainteraction where the time variability of the surface wind field and the wind stress curl drive the ocean; hence, our interest in the spectrum of the surface wind field. In this paper we...
متن کاملBINARY CLASSIFICATIOI ' \ OF WII ' \ D FIELDS THROuGH HYPOTHESIS TESTING ON SCATTEROMETER MEASUREMENTS
Scatterometers are radars specially designed to nearsurface wind over the ocean from space. Traditional scatterometer wind estimation inverts the model function relationship between the wind and backscatter at each resolution element, yielding a set of ambiguities due to the many-to-one mapping of the model function. Field-wise wind estimation dramatically reduces the number of ambiguities by e...
متن کاملA Field-wise Wind Retrieval Algorithm for the Nasa Scatterometer
A FIELD-WISE WIND RETRIEVAL ALGORITHM FOR THE NASA SCATTEROMETER Charles G. Brown Electrical and Computer Engineering Master of Science An alternative to traditional wind retrieval techniques that does not rely on numerical weather prediction winds is developed and applied in this thesis. Traditional satellite scatterometer wind retrieval algorithms consist of point-wise wind estimation and amb...
متن کاملAccuracy of scatterometer-derived winds using the Cramer-Rao bound
A wind scatterometer makes measurements of the normalized radar-backscatter coefficient of the ocean surface. To retrieve the wind, a geophysical model function (GMF), which relates to the near-surface wind, is used. The wind vector can be estimated using maximum-likelihood techniques from several measurements made at different azimuth angles. The probability density of the measured is assumed ...

WIND SCATTEROMETRY WITH IMPROVED AMBIGUITY SELECTION AND RAIN MODELING David Draper Electrical and Computer Engineering Doctor of Philosophy Although generally accurate, the quality of SeaWinds on QuikSCAT scatterometer ocean vector winds is compromised by certain natural phenomena and retrieval algorithm limitations. This dissertation addresses three main contributers to scatterometer estimate...
