One Operational Method for Offshore Wind Speeds Retrieval from SAR Image

Abstract:

The high resolution offshore wind speeds retrieval from SAR image is of great signification in the field of offshore wind energy estimation. In this paper, one operational method for offshore wind speeds retrieval from SAR image is conducted. Taking one scene ENVISAT ASAR image as a case study, the offshore wind speeds is operational retrieved combing with the NCEP/QSCAT blended sea surface wind directions. The retrieved wind speeds are compared with those from both the NCEP/QSCAT blended sea surface wind speeds and daily averaged Quick Scatter meter sea surface wind speeds. The results show that they are in good agreement. The root mean square errors of wind speed are 1.9 m/s and 1.6 m/s respectively, which show that the operational method for offshore wind speeds retrieval from SAR is available and give the orientation of SAR offshore sea surface wind energy business application in the future.
