Seawinds Radiometer Brightness Temperature Calibration And Validation
… QuikSCAT launched in June 1999 and on Japan's ADEOS-II satellite launched in December 2002. The purpose of SeaWinds is to provide global measurements of the ocean surface wind vector. On QuikSCAT, a ground data processing algorithm was developed, which allowed the instrument to function as a …

Calibration of and Attitude Error Estimation for a Spaceborne Scatterometer using Measurements Over Land
… of Japan's Advanced Earth Observing Spacecraft (ADEOS). NSCAT's primary mission was to measure radar backscatter over the world's oceans. These measurements are used to generate estimates of ocean wind speed and direction. Scatterometers must be calibrated before their measurements are …

A Wind and Rain Backscatter Model Derived from AMSR and SeaWinds Data
… SeaWinds scatterometers aboard the QuikSCAT and ADEOS II satellites were originally designed to measure wind vectors over the ocean by exploiting the relationship between wind-induced surface roughening and the normalized radar backscatter cross-section. Recently, an algorithm for simultaneously …

Observation and Tracking of Tropical Cyclones Using Resolution Enhanced Scatterometry
… observed by Seawinds on QuikSCAT or SeaWinds on ADEOS II from 1999 through 2005 is generated and made available to the scientific community at http://scp.byu.edu.

Melt Detection and Estimation in Greenland Using Tandem QuikSCAT and SeaWinds Scatterometers
… SeaWinds on QuikScat (QuikScat) and SeaWinds on ADEOS-2 (SeaWinds) scatterometers are used to classify the melt state and estimate melt severity in Greenland. Backscatter measurements are organized into high temporal and high spatial resolution images created using the Scatterometer Image …

An Ocean Surface Wind Vector Model Function For A Spaceborne Microwave Radiometer And Its Application
… the second Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS-II) in 2002. This mission has provided a unique data set of coincident measurements between the SeaWinds scatterometer and the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR). AMSR observes the vertical and horizontal brightness temperature (TB) …

A New Method for Melt Detection on Antarctic Ice-Shelves and Scatterometer Calibration Verification
… SeaWinds on QuikScat (QuikScat) and SeaWinds on ADEOS-2 (SeaWinds) scatterometers are identical radar sensors on different spaceborne platforms traversing similar orbits. QuikSCAT and SeaWinds data are used to infer near-surface wind vectors, polar sea-ice extent, polar-ice melt events, among …
