Abstract
The Seasat microwave scatterometer was designed to measure, globally and in nearly all weather, wind speed to an accuracy of +/- 2 meters per second and wind direction to +/- 20 degrees in two swaths 500 kilometers wide on either side of the spacecraft. For two operating modes in rain-free conditions, a limited number of comparisons to high-quality surface truth indicates that these specifications may have been met.Year: 1979 PMID： 17814199 DOI： 10.1126/science.204.4400.1413
