The feasibility of Quikscat for the measurements of tropical cyclone wind fields has been investigated with the data from seven hurricanes.
The SeaWinds on QuikSCAT scatterometer is a device developed by NASA JPL to measure the speed adn direction of ocean surface winds.
The SeaWinds on QuickSCAT scatterometer was developed by NASA JPL to measure the speed and direction of ocean surface winds. Simulations performed to estimate the performance of the instrument prior to its launch have indicated that the mid-swath accuracy is worse than that of the rest of the swath.
Spaceborne wind scatterometers provide useful measurements of ocean surface winds and are important to climatological studies and operational weather forecasting.
