A Modeling Study of the Impact of the Sea Surface Temperature on the Backscattering Coefficient and Wind Field Retrieval

The sea surface temperature (SST) actively impacts the backscattering coefficient measured by scatterometers and the wind retrieval accuracy. However, none of the geophysical model functions (GMFs) currently used in operational wind retrieval considers the effect of the SST. With the HY-2A scatterom...
