Abstract:White Sands Missile Range, New MexicoETERMINING the wind field using current satellite instrumentation is very D difficult even under optimum conditions. Two techniques at present receiving much attention are the inference of winds by clouds or moist tongue motion (via visible and infra-red data) and the use of the correspondence between sea-surface wind and the height of sea waves, the latter being inferred from the reflectivity of the sea surface in the visible or the emissivity of the sea surface in the mic… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
