Abstract:
The interannual variability of salinity and associated ocean dynamics in the equatorial Indian Ocean is analyzed using observations and numerical simulations by the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO) model. The results show th...
WindSat satellite comparisons with nearshore buoy wind data near the U.S. west and east coasts
ZHANG Lei, SHI Hanqing, YU Hong, YI Xin
2016, 35(7): 50-58. doi: 10.1007/s13131-016-0905-y
Abstract:
Nearshore wind speeds retrieved by WindSat are validated by a comparison with the moored buoy observations near the U.S. west and east coasts. A 30 min and 25 km collection window is used for the WindSat wind data and buoy measurements from January 2...
