Ocean Vector Winds in Storms from the SMAP L-Band Radiometer
Our paper discusses the unique capability of the SMAP L-band radiometer to measure strong winds in tropical and extratropical cyclones. There is no significant degradation in rain. INTRODUCTION AND OUTLINE The Soil Moisture Active Passive Mission SMAP (Entekhabi et al., 2010) was launched in January 2015 and has been providing science data since April 2015. Though designed to measure soil moist...
متن کاملSMOS: A Satellite Mission to Measure Ocean Surface Salinity
The ESA’s SMOS (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity) Earth Explorer Opportunity Mission will be launched by 2005. Its baseline payload is a microwave L-band (21 cm, 1.4 GHz) 2D interferometric radiometer, Y shaped, with three arms 4.5 m long. This frequency allows the measurement of brightness temperature (Tb) under the best conditions to retrieve soil moisture and sea surface salinity (SSS). Unli...
متن کاملLong-term Variability of Ocean Surface Winds
Just a few decades ago, almost all ocean wind measurements came from merchant ships. However, the quality and geographical distribution of these wind reports were uneven. The quality of historical wind-stress have been well investigated [e.g., Cardone et al., 1990; Trenberth, et al, 1990; Kent et al., 1999]. Today, operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) also gives us wind information, b...
متن کاملfrom linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar
chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...
15 صفحه اولThe Sar Measurement of Ocean Surface Winds : an Overview
This paper represents a consensus on the state-of-theart in wind field retrievals using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) as it emerged during the 2nd Workshop on Coastal andMarine Applications of SAR in Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen, Norway, held on 8–12 September 2003. This work is the result of the efforts of many co-authors. The length of the author list a compels us to include it as a footnote,1 ...
