Description:

In the last few years, there has been tremendous improvement in the calibration of ocean surface vector winds from scatterometers and polarimetric radiometers. This is the first detailed investigation of across-swath consistency in scatterometer-derived (i.e., QSCAT, ASCAT-A, OSCAT, and ASCAT-B) vorticity (curl of the ocean surface vector winds). Spatial derivatives of the winds fields are very important for atmospheric boundary-layer processes, upper ocean forcing, and deep ocean forcing. Improvements in wind calibration imply improvements in derivatives of these winds; however, it does not imply consistency. This study demonstrates near consistency in across-swath vorticity and near consistency between platforms.
