Gridded surface wind fields from Metop/ASCAT measurements

This article deals with the calculation and validation of daily surface wind vector fields from wind speed and direction observations derived from Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) scatterometer measurements over the global ocean. According to the ASCAT sampling scheme, the objective method allowing for the determination of regular in space and time wind speed and direction fields uses ASCAT observations as well as European Centre for Medium Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analyses. The latter are considered as external drift for the kriging method and as the temporal interpolation basis for ASCAT retrievals. This study focuses on the investigation of the capability of the method to add valuable wind information to the operational atmospheric analyses and on the quality of the resulting wind fields. The accuracy of the former is determined through comprehensive comparisons with daily winds calculated from moored buoy data. At global and regional scales, comparisons are performed with surface wind patterns derived from the ECMWF analysis and from ECMWF Re-analysis project (ERA-Interim) re-analyses.     

Neural network wind retrieval from ERS-1 scatterometer data

This paper presents a neural network methodology to retrieve wind vectors from ERS1 scatterometer data. First, a neural network (NN-INVERSE) computes the most probable wind vectors. Probabilities for the estimated direction are given. At least 75% of the most probable wind directions are consistent with ECMWF winds (at ±20°). Then the remaining ambiguities are solved by an adapted PRESCAT method, which uses the probabilities provided by NN-INVERSE. Several statistical tests are presented to evaluate the accuracy of the method. Its good performance is mainly due to the use of a spatial context and to the probabilistic approach for estimating the direction. Comparisons with other methods are also presented. The good performance of the neural method suggests that self-consistent wind retrieval is possible.     

Preliminary validation of ocean surface vector winds estimated from China’s HY-2A scatterometer

The microwave scatterometer on the Haiyang-2A (HY-2A) satellite is designed to provide global sea surface wind field data. The accuracy of HY-2A scatterometer wind retrievals is determined through various comparisons with moored buoys and the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) reanalysis data. These comparisons were made in wide regions, including open sea and coastal areas, over a four-month period from January to March 2012 and August 2012. The retrieved wind speed results agree well with in situ observations and model data with respective biases ?0.19 m s^?1 and 0.01 m s^?1 and root mean square error 2.02 m s^?1 and 1.81 m s^?1. However, the wind direction errors are a little higher. The overall bias and root mean square deviation of wind direction are ?2.24°, 1.74°, and 40.28°, 38.56°, respectively. The wind speed and direction residuals are higher in low- and high-wind speed ranges. In addition, the wind speed and direction are relatively more accurate for open sea than those in coastal regions.     

Fusion of sea surface wind vector data acquired by multi-source active and passive sensors in China sea

This work is the first to analyse the sea surface wind vector (SSWV) data acquisition capabilities of eight satellites carrying microwave scatterometer (scanning scatterometer carried by Haiyang satellite 2A, advanced scatterometer carried by Metop satellite A, advanced scatterometer carried by Metop satellite B and scanning scatterometer carried by Oceansat satellite 2) or radiometers (Special Sensor Microwave Imager carried by Meteorological Satellite Program satellites F15 and F17, advanced microwave scanning radiometer 2 carried by GCOM-W1 satellite, and windsat polarimetric radiometer carried by Coriolis satellite) and investigate a SSWV fusion algorithm for active and passive remote-sensing data. We found that combining observations of the eight satellites can provide an SSWV data product with spatial resolution of 25 km × 25 km and temporal resolution of 3 h. Sea surface wind speed and direction data were obtained from multi-source active and passive sensors using a spatiotemporally weighted fusion algorithm. An adaptive sliding window was introduced for calculating effective observation data within spatial/temporal radii, which can effectively improve calculation efficiency for wind field fusion. Comparing the fused and buoy observation results, the root-mean-square errors of the wind direction and speed were 20.6° and 1.2 m s^–1, respectively, indicating that the fusion results can meet most application requirements for wind vector. Meanwhile, the space coverage, accuracy of merged wind speed and wind direction can be improved comparing to a single sensor.

Using sentinel-1A SAR wind retrievals for enhancing scatterometer and radiometer regional wind analyses

Scatterometer surface wind speed and direction observations in combination with radiometer wind speeds allow to generate surface wind analyses with high space and time resolutions over global as well as at regional scales. Regarding scatterometer sampling schemes and physics, the resulting surface wind analyses suffer from lack of accuracy in areas near coasts. The use of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) onboard the Sentinel-1A satellite attempts to address the enhancement of surface wind analyses issues. In this study, SAR wind speeds and directions retrieved from backscatter coefficients acquired in interferometric wide (IW) swath mode are used. Their accuracy is determined through comprehensive comparisons with moored buoy wind measurements. SAR and buoy winds agree well at offshore and nearshore locations. The statistics characterizing the comparison of SAR and buoy wind speeds and directions are of the same order as those obtained from scatterometer (Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) and RapidScat) and buoy wind comparisons. The main discrepancy between SAR and buoy data are found for high wind speeds. SAR wind speeds exceeding 10 m s^–1 tend to be underestimated. A similar conclusion is drawn from SAR and scatterometer wind speed comparisons. It is based on the underestimation of SAR backscatter coefficient (σ°) with respect to σ° estimated from scatterometer winds and the geophysical model function (GMF) named CMOD-IFR2 (Ifremer C band MODel). New SAR wind speeds are retrieved using CMOD-IFR2. The corrected SAR retrievals allow better determination of the spatial characteristics of surface wind speeds and of the related wind components in near-coast areas. They are used for enhancing the determination of the spatial structure function required for the estimation of wind fields gridded in space and time at the regional scale. The resulting wind fields are only determined from scatterometer wind observations in combination with radiometer retrievals. Their qualities are determined through comparisons with SAR wind speeds and directions, and through their application for determination of wind power off Brittany coasts.     

A comparison of ship- and scatterometer-derived wind speed data in open ocean and coastal areas

Quality controlled wind speed observations from merchant ships have been compared with ERS-1 scatterometer data. The ship and satellite wind speed pairs were well correlated at 120 km separation in the open ocean, reducing to 40 km in the North Sea. The maximum allowed separation of ship and scatterometer wind speed pairs had to be further reduced to 20 km in the North Sea to avoid matching of coastal ship wind speed data with scatterometer data from more exposed regions. Spurious biases in the comparisons were caused by the error variability of the scatterometer data (0.5 m s-1) being significantly less than that for the ships (2.0 m s-1). The unbiased regression was: U10n(ship)=1.025 U10n(satellite)+0.255 No significant enhancement of the scatterometer wind speeds occurred in the coastal region.

Evaluation of remotely sensed and modelled soil moisture products using global ground-based in situ observations

In situ soil moisture data from more than 200 stations located in Africa, Australia, Europe and the United States are used to determine the reliability of three soil moisture products, one analysis from the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) numerical weather prediction system (SM-DAS-2) and two remotely sensed soil moisture products, namely ASCAT (Advanced scatterometer) and SMOS (Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity). SM-DAS-2 is produced offline at ECMWF and relies on an advanced surface data assimilation system (Extended Kalman Filter) used to optimally combine conventional observations with satellite measurements. ASCAT remotely sensed surface soil moisture is provided in near real time by EUMETSAT. At ECMWF, ASCAT is used for soil moisture analyses in SM-DAS-2, also. Finally the SMOS remotely sensed soil moisture data level two product developed at CESBIO is used. Evaluation of the times series as well as of the anomaly values, shows good performances of the three products to capture surface soil moisture annual cycle and short term variability. Correlations with in situ data are very satisfactory over most of the investigated sites located in contrasted biomes and climate conditions with averaged values of 0.70 for SM-DAS-2, 0.53 for ASCAT and 0.54 for SMOS. Although radio frequency interference disturbs the natural microwave emission of the Earth observed by SMOS in several parts of the world, hence the soil moisture retrieval, performances of SMOS over Australia are very encouraging.

Generation of 3-D geoidal surface of the Bay of Bengal lithosphere and its tectonic implications

We compare wind speeds derived from analyses of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) from 1986 to 1992 with wind speeds retrieved from three space borne instruments: the Geosat altimeter, the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) microwave radiometer and the European Remote Sensing (ERS-I) scatterometer. The comparison reveals imperfections in both ECMWF and SSM/I wind speeds.

The ECMWF wind speeds are systematically underestimated with respect to the satellite wind speeds in the tropical Pacific and the Atlantic Ocean before May 1989. After the changes to the ECMWF model in May 1989, the differences vanish in the Atlantic and are reduced by about 50 per cent in the Pacific Ocean. However, the differences between ECMWF and satellite wind speeds are greater than those observed between the satellite wind speeds themselves: yearly differences between the satellite and the ECMWF wind speeds are greater than 2 m s^?1 in tropical regions whereas intercomparison of satellite wind speeds reveals differences within ±1m s ^?1. In September 1991 a new version of the ECMWF model was introduced which greatly altered the wind analyses, both in the tropics and in the southern Pacific Ocean. At the global scale, the mean ECMWF-SSM/I wind difference is close to 0m s^?1 before the September 1991 changes and increases to 0·4m s^?1 following the changes, meaning that the ECMWF wind speeds are 5 per cent less than the SSM/I wind speeds, an observation which may also be made from the ECMWF-ERS 1 comparisons.

The SSM/I wind speeds appear as underestimates with respect to the other three data sets in regions of high and moderate wind speeds, in particular in the high northern latitudes and in the Arabian sea, which could result from a Wentz algorithm directional flaw.     

Russian scatterometer: discussion of the concept and the numerical simulation of wind field retrieval

Orbital scatterometry is briefly overviewed and its trends are indicated. Two scatterometer concepts are currently considered for trade-offs: with fixed and rotating antenna systems. The concept with a rotating antenna system was selected and SeaWinds was chosen as the prototype for the first Russian scatterometer. The scatterometer concept was then further developed and instead of two pencil beams, a fan-beam antenna was proposed (about 1° × 6°). The fan-beam antenna allows successive measurements for horizontal and vertical polarization in each wind vector cell (WVC). This increases the number of observations of the WVC at different incidence and azimuth angles during flight. The scatterometer parameters required to implement the proposed measurement geometry for an orbit altitude of 650 km and a swath width of 1525 km are discussed. A numerical scatterometer model that accounts for both the specifications and the observation geometry is developed. The scatterometer performance, with subsequent formation of a swath and splitting into WVCs, is simulated. The procedure of wind vector retrieval includes two stages: 1) determining wind speed and wind direction in a single WVC; and 2) using the information from adjacent WVCs to correct wind direction. It is shown that the accuracy of wind direction retrieval by a WVC can be increased by simultaneous radar cross-section (RCS) measurements at vertical and horizontal polarization. The basic error in determining wind direction is due to a 180° wind direction ambiguity caused by the form of RCS azimuth dependence. Two-dimensional median filtering is commonly employed in scatterometry to increase the accuracy of wind direction retrieval. In this study, two-dimensional angular median filtering was employed and it is shown that the error in wind direction retrieval significantly decreased. The results of the research indicate that wind field can be retrieved by the new scatterometer with the level of precision required.

Influence of Sea Surface Wind Vector on Sea SurfaceBrightness Temperature Gain in Different Seasons

Based on the correlation of the sea surface wind vectors to the sea surface roughness temperature in different seasons,wind field data of the Windsat L2 U10 wind fields in the northwest Pacific in January,April,July and October from 2012 to 2016 were selected,and used sea surface roughness Semi\|empirical and theoretical algorithm,the relationship between the brightness temperature gain caused by wind speed and wind vector under different seasons was analyzed.the results showed that the contribution of wind speed to horizontal brightness temperature gain was greater than that of vertical brightness temperature; the change of horizontal brightness temperature gain was the most significant in January and the least was in July; the maximum and minimum mean values of wind speed to vertical brightness gain were 0.19 K and 0.05 K respectively,indicating that the wind speed had little effect on the vertical brightness gain.It showed that the vertical brightness temperature gain was almost independent of the seasons by the standard deviation calculation; in April and October to form larger cyclone phenomenon in high latitude regions by the Pacific and Hawaii high pressure under the influence,and with brightness gain changes,showing obvious features of the North Pacific gyre.
