| dc.description | Sea surface wind stress measurements recorded by a sonic anemometer are correlated with airborne scatterometer measurements of ocean roughness (cross section of radar backscatter) to establish the accuracy of remotely sensed data and assist in the definition of geophysical algorithms for the scatterometer sensor aboard Seasat A. Results of this investigation are as follows: (1) Comparison of scatterometer and sonic anemometer wind stress (u<sub>*</sub>) measurements are good for the majority of cases; however, a tendency exists for scatterometer u<sub>*</sub> to be somewhat high for higher wind conditions experienced in this experiment (6–9 m/s). (2) The scatterometer wind speed algorithm tends to overcompute the higher wind speeds by approximately 0.5 m/s. This is a direct result of the scatterometer overestimate of u<sub>*</sub>, from which wind speeds are derived. (3) Algorithmic derivations of wind speed and direction are, in most comparisons, within accuracies defined by Seasat A scatterometer sensor specifications. |
