A Non-MLE Approach for Satellite Scatterometer Wind Vector Retrievals in Tropical Cyclones

Satellite microwave scatterometers are the principal source of global synoptic-scale ocean vector wind (OVW) measurements for a number of scientific and operational oceanic wind applications. However, for extreme wind events such as tropical cyclones, their performance is significantly degraded. Th...
