A two-parameter wind speed algorithm for Ku-band altimeters

A two-parameter wind speed algorithm for Ku-band altimeters

Globally distributed crossovers of altimeter and scatterometer observations clearly demonstrate that ocean altimeter backscatter correlates with both the near-surface wind speed and the sea state. Satellite data from TOPEX/Poseidon and NSCAT are used to develop an empirical altimeter wind speed mode...
