Title
An evaluation of the potential of polarimetric radiometry for numerical weather prediction using QuikSCAT
Abstract
It has been proposed that wind vector information derived from passive microwave radiometry may provide an impact on numerical weather forecasts of similar magnitude to that achieved by scatterometers. Polarimetric radiometers have a lower sensitivity to wind direction than scatterometers at low wind speed but comparable sensitivity at high windspeed. In this paper, we describe an experiment which...
