Strengths and weakness of remotely sensed winds are discussed, along with the current
capabilities for remotely sensing winds and stress. Future missions are briefly mentioned …

This paper analyzes the differences between ERA-Interim and ERA5 surface winds fields
relative to Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT) ocean vector wind observations, after …

Turbulent and radiative exchanges of heat between the ocean and atmosphere (hereafter
heat fluxes), ocean surface wind stress, and state variables used to estimate them, are …

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) and buoy ocean surface winds show some systematic
differences with satellite scatterometer and radiometer wind measurements, both in …

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) …

It is well known that rain leaves footprints on the sea surface that sometimes become visible
on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Rain cells can easily be detected on SAR images …

Satellite microwave sensors, both active scatterometers and passive radiometers, have
been systematically measuring near-surface ocean winds for nearly 40 years, establishing …

This paper investigates the global navigation satellite system-reflectometry (GNSS-R)
measurements collected by the space GNSS receiver-remote sensing instrument (SGR …

The assessment and validation of the quality of satellite scatterometer vector winds is
challenging under increased subcell wind variability conditions, since reference wind …

The normalized radar cross section (NRCS) measured by satellite ocean radar systems is
representative of the sea surface roughness at the scale of gravity-capillary waves, which …
