Comparison of Wind Speeds from Spaceborne Microwave Radiometers with In Situ Observations and ECMWF Data over the Global Ocean

Comparison of Wind Speeds from Spaceborne Microwave Radiometers with In Situ Observations and ECMWF Data over the Global Ocean

This study compares wind speeds derived from five satellite microwave radiometers with those directly observed by buoy-mounted anemometers and the global analyses produced by the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model. Buoy comparisons yield wind speed root mean square erro...
