In this paper, we introduce the combined active/passive (CAP) data product for the Soil
Moisture Active Passive mission. We develop the algorithms for a radiometer-only salinity …

Ocean surface currents and winds are tightly coupled essential climate variables, and, given
their short time scales, observing them at the same time and resolution is of great interest …

High‐resolution wind products based on space‐borne scatterometer measurements by
ASCAT and SeaWinds are used widely for various purposes. In this paper the quality of such …

Quality control (QC) is an essential part of the scatterometer wind retrieval. In the current
pencil-beam scatterometer wind processor (PenWP), a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) …

Satellite scatterometer observations of the ocean surface wind speed and direction improve
the depiction of storms at sea. Over the ocean, scatterometer surface winds are deduced …

WindSat is a space-based polarimetric microwave radiometer designed to demonstrate the
capability to measure the ocean surface wind vector using a radiometer. We describe a …

The L-band passive microwave data from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP)
observatory are investigated for remote sensing of ocean surface winds during severe …

A simple wind/rain backscatter model is used with co‐located precipitation radar (PR) data
from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite to evaluate the effect of rain …
