Title

Tropical Cyclone Geophysical Model Function For Ocean Surface Wind Retrievals From Nasa Scatterometer Measurements At High Wind Speeds

Abstract

A hybrid model function, the Tropical Cyclone Geophysical Model Function (TCGMF) that was derived from the NSCAT1b model function and airborne KUSCAT scatterometer measurements during tropical cyclones, is described. At higher speeds, TCGMF assigns lower backscatter values to obtain a given wind vector, thus compared to other model functions, its use results in higher winds. Use of TCGFM for wind retrieval from the NASA Scatterometer measurements during several high-wind events gave good results.
