The dissertation seeked to understand the effectiveness of satellite based data collection of wind fields along the west coast of southern Africa, pertaining to particular synoptic atmospheric systems. A comparison between data from two automatic coastal weather stations and measurements obtained by the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT) for the period 1 December 1996 to 31 May 1997 yielded a correlation coefficient of 70%. 2014-08-13T19:49:14Z 2014-08-13T19:49:14Z 2001 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6484 eng application/pdf Department of Oceanography Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
