Atmospheric manifestation of tropical instability wave observed by Quikscat and tropical rain measuring mission
Observations from two new spaceborne microwave instruments in 1999 clearly reveal the atmospheric manifestation of tropical instability waves north of the Pacific equatorial cold tongue.

NASA Scatterometer Provides Global Ocean-Surface Wind Fields with More Structures than Numerical Weather Prediction
The major differences between monthly-mean ocean-surface wind fields derived from the observations of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Scatterometer (NSCAT) and produced by the operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) model of the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts are found in coastal and equatorial regions, where the sharp changes are smoothed over in NWP products.

Spacebased Observation of Global Ocean Surface Wind Fields
The ocean and the atmosphere are dynamically coupled by the transport of momentum which is driven by the wind shear at the sea surface. However, in situ wind measurements are relatively sparse over most of the world's ocean and are largely limited to the locations of shipping routes.
