Improving the Accuracy of the Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) Ocean Vector Winds

The Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) Ocean vector wind analysis is a level-4 product that uses a variational method to combine satellite retrievals of ocean winds with a background wind field from a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model. The result is a spatially complete estimate of global...

Description
Summary:The Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) Ocean vector wind analysis is a level-4 product that uses a variational method to combine satellite retrievals of ocean winds with a background wind field from a numerical weather prediction (NWP) model. The result is a spatially complete estimate of global ocean vector winds on six-hour intervals that are closely tied to satellite measurements. The current versions of CCMP are fairly accurate at low to moderate wind speeds (
