Abstract

The entire 96-day period of Seasat scatterometer data has been objectively dealiased using the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres (GLA) analysis/forecast system, and global fields of wind stress and sensible and latent heat fluxes were produced as a by-product of the data assimilation process. The GLA objectively dealiased winds were compared with a more limited subjectively dealiased data set and with objectively dealiased winds obtained using an alternative method.-from Authors
