On The analysis of seasat winds

A method for analyzing SEASAT-A-winds, which eliminates the ambiguity in SEASAT wind measurements, is formulated. The ambiguity is eliminated by using wind estimates from low level cloud motions and synoptic cloud patterns (based on satellite pictures), surface wind climatology as well as space-time...

La ambigüedad se eliminó usando vientos estimados a partir del movimiento de nubes bajas y dé patrones sinópticos de nubes (basados en fotos de satélite), de climatología de vientos de superficie así como de principios de continuidad en espacio y tiempo. El método se aplicó a datos de SEASAT tomados sobre el Atlántico Tropical. La exactitud del método ha sido evaluada comparando los resultados de nuestra técnica de análisis con observaciones independientes de barcos. La comparación muestra que la técnica de análisis produjo vientos que son comparables en exactitud a la de los vientos reportados por los barcos.Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.
