Study of Surface Wind and Mean Square Slope Correlation in Hurricane Ike With Multiple Sensors.

This paper analyzes and compares multiple techniques for estimating the mean square slope (MSS) of surface waves during Hurricane Ike in the Gulf of Mexico and studies the correlation of the MSS estimates with wind speed measurements along the same tracks. Three separate instruments collected measurements in parallel, including a GPS reflectometry (GPS-R) receiver, a stepped frequency microwave ra...
