QuikSCAT was designed for ocean wind retrieval. However, its wind estimation performance is limited in rainy conditions. Several estimation techniques have been proposed: wind-only (WO), simultaneous wind and rain (SWR), and rain-only, which are appropriate for different levels of rain contamination. To exploit the strengths of each estimation method at mitigating rain contamination, a Bayes estimator...
The QuikSCAT scatterometer infers wind vectors over the ocean using measurements of the surface backscatter. During rain events the QuikSCAT observations are subject to rain contamination. Three separate estimators have been developed: wind-only, simultaneous wind and rain, and rain-only, which account for rain contamination in varying degrees. This paper introduces a Bayes estimator selection technique...
