An Analysis of a Commercial GNSS-R Ocean Wind Speed Dataset
An analysis of Level-2 (L2) ocean wind speed retrievals from 1st May, 2021 to 1st June, 2024 derived from Spire, Inc.’s Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry observatories is presented. Comparisons of retrieved ocean surface wind speeds with European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis v5 estimates show correlations on the order of 73$\%$ and unbiased rms error (uRMSE) $\approx$ 2.4 m/s over all wind speeds using the latest v2.07 data version. Colocated observations with advanced scatterometer (ASCAT) B, ASCAT C, advanced microwave scanning radiometer 2, soil moisture active passive, and Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System winds also show correlations up to 86$\%$ and overall uRMSE values ranging between 1.45–2.03 m/s, with “triple colocation” analyses yielding similar results. Errors are found to increase significantly for wind speeds exceeding 12–15 m/s, likely due to the relatively low signal-to-noise ratio of such measurements for Spire's receivers. A sensitivity of ocean wind speed retrievals to storm structure is nevertheless demonstrated that highlights an ability to capture large scale features in a manner commensurate with reference model data.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing addresses the growing field of applications in Earth observations and remote sensing, and also provides a venue for the rapidly expanding special issues that are being sponsored by the IEEE Geosciences and Remote Sensing Society. The journal draws upon the experience of the highly successful “IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing” and provide a complementary medium for the wide range of topics in applied earth observations. The ‘Applications’ areas encompasses the societal benefit areas of the Global Earth Observations Systems of Systems (GEOSS) program. Through deliberations over two years, ministers from 50 countries agreed to identify nine areas where Earth observation could positively impact the quality of life and health of their respective countries. Some of these are areas not traditionally addressed in the IEEE context. These include biodiversity, health and climate. Yet it is the skill sets of IEEE members, in areas such as observations, communications, computers, signal processing, standards and ocean engineering, that form the technical underpinnings of GEOSS. Thus, the Journal attracts a broad range of interests that serves both present members in new ways and expands the IEEE visibility into new areas.
