MON6: Reconciling differences between satellite and observed ocean surface winds

August 14, 2018 3:56 pm Published by Comments Off on MON6: Reconciling differences between satellite and observed ocean surface winds

Satellites measure surface winds relative to the moving ocean surface, while ocean moorings measure absolute winds at that location. This project will make use of both measuring methods to better understand the role of surface currents in these differences and whether they can be reconciled.
