    • High-resolution polar low winds obtained from unsupervised sar wind retrieval 

      Tollinger, Mathias; Graversen, Rune; Johnsen, Harald (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-18)
      High-resolution sea surface observations by spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instruments are sorely neglected resources for meteorological applications in polar regions. Such radar observations provide information about wind speed and direction based on wind-induced roughness of the sea surface. The increasing coverage of SAR observations in polar regions calls for the development of ...

    • Validation of a SAR-only wind-vector retrieval against shipborne in situ wind observations in the European Arctic 

      Tollinger, Mathias; Graversen, Rune Grand (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024-01-05)
      Space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observations provide broad coverage of high-resolution snapshots of the sea surface conditions in polar regions. However, their potential has not yet been fully harnessed for meteorological applications. For instance, standard methods for SAR wind-vector retrieval rely on wind direction inputs from numerical weather prediction models, which hampers the ...
