Characterizing Buoy Wind Speed Error in High Winds and Varying Sea State with ASCAT and ERA5

Buoys provide key observations of wind speed over the ocean and are routinely used as a source of validation data for satellite wind products. However, the movement of buoys in high seas and the airflow over waves might cause inaccurate readings, raising concern when buoys are used as a source of wi...
