Abstract

A simple algorithm is developed and tested to derive a regularly spaced wind field in a limited area from simulated multiorbit scatterometer data. The data are generated by sampling a time-varying known wind field, the 1000-mb FGGE data, from a simulated scatterometer. A simple assimilation technique is used to derive a regularly spaced (100-km grid) wind field representation of two-day averages from the simulated data. Several test cases are considered, and it is noted that the assimilation technique might be applicable to large-scale ocean or atmospheric models.
