Observational studies of scatterometer ocean vector winds in the presence of dynamic air-sea interactions
<p>Ocean vector wind measurements produced by satellite scatterometers are used in many applications across many disciplines, from forcing ocean circulation models and improving weather forecasts, to aiding in rescue operations and helping marine management services, and even mapping energy …

Tropical oceanic mesoscale cold pools in observations and models
Convective cold pools over oceans contribute to the atmosphere-ocean exchange of heat and moisture across the globe. Beyond cold pools’ physical properties, cold pools and their intersections are important mechanisms controlling the life cycle of tropical convective systems. However, few …

Wind Scatterometry with Improved Ambiguity Selection and Rain Modeling
Although generally accurate, the quality of SeaWinds on QuikSCAT scatterometer ocean vector winds is compromised by certain natural phenomena and retrieval algorithm limitations. This dissertation addresses three main contributers to scatterometer estimate error: poor ambiguity selection, estimate …

Observation and Tracking of Tropical Cyclones Using Resolution Enhanced Scatterometry
… scatterometer provides global daily coverage of oceanic near-surface vector winds. Recently, algorithms have been developed to enhance the spatial resolution of QuikSCAT winds from 25~km to 2.5~km posting. These ultra-high resolution winds are used, in comparison with standard L2B data product …
