The effect of the Agulhas Current on synthetic aperture radar derived wind fields by Schilperoort, Daniel E

“…The CFS direction data are validated using ASCAT derived wind observations Globcurrent ocean current velocity data is used to investigate the difference between the satellite derived wind speeds compared to surface velocities of the current and the true wind speed. The, so called, current-relative effect is investigated for different wind direction regimes, namely: upcurrent, downcurrent, crosscurrent west and crosscurrent east. …”
