Surface current velocities of mesoscale eddies have a unique annular structure, which can inevitably influence surface wave properties and energy distribution. Sensitivity experiments of ideal mesoscale eddies on waves were carried out by the Simulat...
Chinese-French Oceanography Satellite (CFOSAT), the first satellite which can observe global ocean wave and wind synchronously, was successfully launched On 29 October 2018. The CFOSAT carries SWIM that can observe ocean wave on a global scale. Based...
Sea ice type is the key parameter of Arctic sea ice monitoring. Microwave remote sensors with medium incidence and normal incidence modes are the primary detection methods for sea ice types. The Surface Wave Investigation and Monitoring instrument (S...
It is well known that numerical models are powerful methods for wave simulation of typhoons, where the sea surface drag coefficient is sensitive to strong winds. With the development of remote sensing techniques, typhoon data (i.e., wind and waves) h...
In the previous companion study, satellite data were used to describe peculiar characteristics of ocean surface wave fields, generated by two extra-tropical cyclones (ETCs) rapidly propagating in the North Atlantic. Based on a 2D parametric wave mode...
The Surface Waves Investigation and Monitoring instrument (SWIM) provides the directional wave spectrum within the wavelength range of 23–500 m, corresponding to a frequency range of 0.056–0.26 Hz in deep water. This frequency range is na...
Surface waves generated by Extra-Tropical Cyclones (ETCs) can significantly affect shipping, fishing, offshore oil and gas production, and other marine activities. This paper presents the results of a satellite data-based investigation of wind waves...
The Chinese-French Oceanography SATellite (CFOSAT) jointly developed by the Chinese National Space Agency (CNSA) and the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) of France carries a wave spectrometer (Surface Waves Investigation and Monitoring...
Over the Philippine Sea, the tropical cyclone (TC) Goni reaches category 5 on 29–31 October 2020. Multi-satellite observations, including CFOSAT SWIM/SCAT and Sentinel-1 SAR data, are jointly analyzed to assess the performances of a parametric...
This paper provides an overview of the Dragon 4 project dealing with operational monitoring of sea ice and sea surface salinity (SSS) and new product developments for altimetry data. To improve sea ice thickness retrieval, a new method was developed...
The purpose of our work was to assess the feasibility of hindcasting waves using WAVEWATCH-III (WW3) in a typhoon by assembling winds from multiple remote-sensed products. During the typhoon season in 2021–2022, the swath wind products in the W...
