The effect of the Agulhas Current on synthetic aperture radar derived wind fields

In this study, 5 years (987 swaths) of high resolution wind speeds, derived from Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar data collected over the Agulhas Current region, are studied to investigate the effect of warm, high intensity currents on the ocean's surface roughness and resulting derived wind f...
