An Empirical Study of Surface Wind Retrievals using the TMI over the South China Sea in the Summer Monsoon Season

This study demonstrates the feasibility of an oceanic wind speed retrieval method: the D-matrix algorithm for local usage. The D-matrix algorithm was examined and ocean surface wind retrievals, utilizing the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI), were validated by using w...
