Assimilating ambiguous
QuikScat scatterometer observations in HIRLAM 3-D-Var at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.
The wind field used to drive the ocean circulation in this subregion was derived from the 25 km resolution
QuikSCAT wind field instead of the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis from year 2000 to year 2006.
Employing algorithms and sensory data from the
QuikSCAT satellite, positioned approximately 500 miles above Earth, Forde is able to view wind patterns and conditions on the ocean's surface, detecting environments favorable for hurricane development.
The satellite maps consist of nearly a decade's worth of data from
QuikSCAT which reveals hotspots for high wind.
(29) The SeaWinds sensor carried on
QuikScat uses specialized radar to measure near-surface wind speed and direction.
The data is derived through cross-calibration and assimilation of ocean surface wind data from Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), Microwave Imager (TMI), Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-Earth Observing System (AMSR-E), SeaWinds on Quick Scatterometer (
QuikSCAT), and SeaWinds on Advanced Earth Observing Satellite 2 (ADEOS-II).
Coastal upwelling and mesoscale winds are studied using daily 25 km NOAA SST data [47], 25 km J-OFURO reanalysis [48], satellite scatterometer measurements from
QuikSCAT and ASCAT, and 4 km Meteosat infrared imagery.
(2009) provided a five-year record (fall 2003 to spring 2008) of sea ice thickness and volume over the Arctic Ocean derived from Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) campaigns in combination with
QuikScat data showing the distribution of multi-year and first-year sea ice across the Northern Hemisphere.
