1 MyOcean2 Wind

2 AWDP km 25 km

3 Tropical variability 1. Dry areas reasonable 2. NWP models lack airsea interaction in rainy areas 3. ASCAT scatterometer does a good job near rain 4. QuikScat, OSCAT and radiometers are affected by rain droplets Portabella et al., TGRS, 2011

4 ASCAT 25 km (selected) winds closer to buoy winds than ECMWF winds in the vicinity of rainy areas (buoy rain data). 4

5 ASCAT-A and ASCAT-B come together Convective downbursts

6 ASCAT-A and ASCAT-B collocation ASCAT-B ASCAT speeds ASCAT-A NWP speed Global Small spread in NWP due to 50 minutes time difference (smooth wind fields) ASCAT direction NWP direction Larger spread in ASCAT due to much smaller resolved scales (e.g., convection)

7 Triple collocation Data from November 2012 to January 2013 Errors on scatterometer scale A and B very similar Scatterometer Buoys ECMWF m/s σ u σ v σ u σ v σ u σ v ASCAT-A 25-km ASCAT-B 25-km ASCAT-A Coastal ASCAT-B Coastal

10 Motivation Wind TAC Marine Core Service Generate spatially and temporally consistent highresolution gridded wind fields to satisfy user demand (L3 and L4) Effective use of all available small-scale ocean surface wind information ASCAT, QuikScat, OSCAT, ERS scatterometer wind vectors Passive radiometer speeds Improve ocean circulation, waves, surges, coupling Oceanography, meteorology, climate, e.g., wind energy
