SeaWinds - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics SeaWinds is a Ku-band scatterometer onboard the QuikScat satellite, designed to measure wind speed and direction over the ice-free global oceans using microwave radiation It operates by transmitting radar pulses and analyzing their return signals, allowing for the determination of ocean wind characteristics under various sky conditions
Tracking large tabular icebergs using the SeaWinds Ku-band microwave . . . While SeaWinds images are relatively coarse (2–4 km) resolution compared to optical photos or SAR images, the frequent observations and visibility of icebergs within the SeaWinds images enable accurate daily tracking of large Antarctic icebergs The iceberg detection methodology has been expanded to operate in near-real-time (NRT)
Tropical forest backscatter anomaly evident in SeaWinds scatterometer . . . However, SeaWinds Ku-band backscatter (13 4 GHz, ~ 2 2 cm wavelength) from a closed-canopy tropical forest will be much less sensitive to underlying soil moisture dynamics than C-band backscatter from the grassland, forest, and cropland vegetation growing in the much drier climate of Spain and Portugal, due to Ku-band's shorter wavelength and
Iceberg size and orientation estimation using SeaWinds SeaWinds scatterometer data from 1999 to 2009 has been used to detect and track large Antarctic icebergs on a daily basis Here, we develop two estimation algorithms to supplement iceberg position reports with estimates of the iceberg's major-axis length, minor-axis length, and angle of rotational orientation
Effects of rain on CFOSAT scatterometer measurements This further complicates the assessment of rain impact on the CFOSAT SCATterometer (CSCAT) winds, and as such the QC methods developed for the prior Ku-band scatterometers, e g , NSCAT, SeaWinds, and Haiyang-2 satellite scatterometers, may be not applicable to the rain flagging of CSCAT data
