The Rotating fan-beam scatterometer (RFSCAT) onboard the Chinese-French Oceanography Satellite (CFOSAT) is a novel kind of scatterometer whose performance had been preliminarily verified by airborne campaign. In this paper the whole data processing chain that can achieve wind field derivation from original data set transmitted from the scatterometer had been proposed with definition of corresponding...
Reflected S-band digital communication satellite signals were collected over 12 days of flights around and into developing hurricanes. Cross correlation with the direct signal was used to generate a power vs. delay waveform which was then fit to a forward scattering model to estimate the mean square slope (MSS) of the ocean surface. The existing L-band (GNSS) empirical model function was applied to...
In this study, we investigated the accuracies of SSS in the northwest Pacific Ocean for the recent three years (2012–2014) by comparison with in situ salinity measurements from Argo floats, moored buoys, and many of ship CTD measurements. The satellite SSS errors of the northwest Pacific Ocean presented characteristic dependence on latitudes close to the global ocean but were mostly underestimated...
Closely collocated C and Ku band scatterometer winds are investigated and significant differences occur depending on sea surface temperature (SST). C-band scatterometer winds do not show any significant SST effect against independent wind references, but Ku-band scatterometer winds show a clear SST-dependent effect, but varying as a function of wind speed. Both statistical and physical analyses of...
