Examining the Constellation of Scatterometers and Radiometers for Diurnal and Sub-Diurnal Wind Vector Variability
The constellation of satellite-based ocean surface wind and precipitation observations since 1999 consists of a diverse collection of both sunsynchronous and asynchronous orbiting satellite platforms, both wind vector-capable (e.g., RapidScat, QuikSCAT, ASCAT) and speed-only radiometers (e.g., TRMM and GPM imagers, AMSR-E) The surface wind varies widely throughout the day, owing to various meteorological forcings, such as land/sea temperature differences, coastal forcings, or possible variations associated with tropical convection Where are regions of strongest time-of-day variability?
