Aquarius Wind Speed Products: Algorithms and Validation
2014
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing
This paper introduces and validates the Aquarius scatterometer-only wind speed algorithm and the combined active passive (CAP) wind speed products. ...
We find the performance of the Aquarius scatterometer-only wind speed is better than 1.00 ms −1 , with best performance for low wind speeds and increasing noise levels as the wind speed increases. ...
He has also has experience in synthetic aperture radar processing and calibration algorithms. ...

Detecting the surface salinity signature of Gulf Stream cold-core rings in Aquarius synergistic products
2015
Journal of Geophysical Research - Oceans
A recently developed fusion technique, based on singularity analysis, is applied in this study to reconstruct these mesoscale (from 100 km and 3 days) features in Aquarius-derived products. ...
These structures are, however, not resolved by the relatively lower resolution (100 km and 7 day repeat subcycle) of Aquarius observations. ...
Stringent filtering has been applied, keeping data only when SSS retrieval is known to be more accurate (wind speed lower than 15 m/s, low radio-frequency interference probability and low reflected galactic ...

We introduce a cyclone wind speed retrieval algorithm and apply it to the limited SMAP SAR dataset of cyclones. ...
We find that the L-band cross-polarized backscatter is far more sensitive to wind speed at extreme winds than the co-polarized backscatter and it is essential to observations of extreme winds with L-band ...
