Cover Story: Atmospheric winds and ocean currents are coupled. The resulting kinetic energy exchanges between winds and currents are important components that regulate the climate system. However, these energy exchanges remain poorly observed. The National Academies’ 2018 Decadal Survey recommended a new Explorer class mission for surface current and wind measurements, with a spatial resolution of 5–10 km and a temporal resolution of 1–2 days. A conceptual satellite mission, called Ocean Dynamics and Sea Exchanges with the Atmosphere (ODYSEA), aims to meet the requirements of the Decadal Survey using a spaceborne Doppler Scatterometer. Results based on a realistic ODYSEA measurement simulator indicate that these exchanges can be estimated with high accuracy by assuming the ODYSEA wide-swath sampling and spatial and temporal resolution. View this paper
