DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2017.2683720
Abstract: Quality control (QC) is an essential part of the scatterometer wind retrieval. In the current pencil-beam scatterometer wind processor (PenWP), a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE)-based QC is used to discern between good- and poor-quality winds.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jtech-d-21-0055.1
Abstract: Four scatterometers, namely: METOP-A, METOP-B, ERS-2 and OCEANSAT-2 were re-calibrated against combined National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) data and aircraft Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) data from hurricanes. As a result, continuous calibration relations over… read more here.
