We present a relatively simple method to estimate tropical cyclone (TC) surface wind structure (34-, 50-and 64-kt wind radii) and intensity (maximum wind speed, MWS) from wind fields acquired from the L-band SMAP radiometer and C-band Sentinel-1A/B and RADARSAT-2 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) between 2015 and 2020. The radiometer and SAR-derived wind radii and MWS are systematically compared with the best-track estimates. The root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) of R34, R50 and R64 are 31.2, 21.8

... d 17.0 n mi (1 n mi =1.852 km) for radiometer, and 21.7, 16.5 and 16.3 n mi for SAR, respectively. These error values are smaller than the averaged best-track uncertainty estimates for the three wind radii. Compared to best-track reports, the bias and RMSE for the MWS estimates are -0.2 m/s and 5.8 m/s for radiometer, and 4.4 m/s and 9.1 m/s for SAR, respectively. These results are for the wind speeds in the range of 17-80 m/s. For the two typical TCs (Lionrock and Noru) in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, our results show that a combination of the radiometer and SAR wind data acquired within a very short time interval has the potential to simultaneously obtain reasonable measurements of the wind radii and intensity parameters. Moreover, for a TC with long lifecycle, such as Typhoon Noru, we demonstrate that high-resolution and multi-temporal synergistic observations from SAR and radiometer are valuable for studying fine-scale features of the wind field and characteristics of wind asymmetry associated with intensity change, as well as the evolution of TC surface wind structure and intensity.
