Technical review evaluates ultra-high-resolution satellite wind products in coastal and mesoscale regions, highlighting key trade-offs between resolution and measurement accuracy.
Although QuikSCAT was originally designed to measure winds at a resolution of 25 km, higher resolution wind and rain products have been developed. The 2.5 km ultra high resolution (UHR) products allow QuikSCAT data to be used for applications involving rain, meso-scale phenomena, and in coastal applications. This paper overviews and unifies the various UHR products and discusses their advantages and limitations as compared to each other and the conventional 25 km product. Theory, consequences of assumptions, and trade-offs are also discussed.
