title = "Exploring SMAP Wind Speed Potential Sea Surface Salinity and Sea Surface Temperature Residual Dependencies",
abstract = "The Soil Moisture Active Passive instrument (SMAP) sea surface wind speed potential dependence to sea surface salinity (sss) and sea surface temperature (sst) is explored. SMAP JPL v5.0 and SMAP REMSS v0.10 are used for this analysis. The SMAP wind speed error (i.e. SMAP-NCEP) is bin averaged per sss and per sst ranges, respectively, and plotted against NCEP wind. This analysis shows that both SMAP wind speed products exhibit clear dependence to both sss and sst: for NCEP winds less than 15 m/s, sst bin averaged error curves for both products show spreads below 1 m/s; for NCEP winds greater than 15 m/s, the maximum spread between the error curves can be greater than 2 m/s. Spreads between sss bin averaged curves can be as high as 5 m/s. This maximum spread is reduced below 1 m/s if data with salinity less than 32 psu is excluded.",
