Advanced Techniques for Improving Wind Direction Ambiguity Removal in Scatterometry
The ambiguity removal algorithm currently planned for NSCAT utilizes a simple median filter?? will discuss techniques of ambiguity removal and outline two new algorithms which can be used to improve ambiguity removal performance without the inclusion of additional wind field information. The techniques are applied to simulated NSCAT data but can be generalized to other scatterometer instruments such as the ERS-1 and ERS-2 scatterometers, and Sea Winds to be launched aboard ADEOS-II in 1999.
