The Global Characteristics of the Wavenumber Spectrum of Ocean Surface Wind

The wavenumber spectra of wind kinetic energy over the ocean from Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) observations have revealed complex spatial variability in the wavelength range of 1000–3000 km, with spectral slopes varying from −1.6 to −2.9. Here the authors performed a spectral analysis of QuikSCAT...
