| Description | Data acquired from the Joint Air-Sea Interaction (JASIN) Experiment and Seasat data from overpasses that covered the JASIN area were compared and evaluated. The JASIN data were used as a high quality withheld data set. The Seasat data were prepared for each instrument: the Seasat-A Satellite Scatterometer (SASS), the Scanning Multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR), and the synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The following results demonstrate the performance of Seasat: it was possible to identify mesoscale systems with the SASS as well as fronts; the SMMR provided accurate water vapor content of the atmosphere; the SAR showed evidence of helical rolls in the marine boundary layer; a SASS anomaly could be traced back to thunderstorm activity. |
