Estimation of Temporally Evolving Typhoon Winds and Waves from Synthetic Aperture Radar

Abstract

The long term goal is to develop a methodology for using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data to improve characterization of the winds and waves generated by typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean. The objective is to develop a variational inversion algorithm based on the SWAN model to estimate the near-surface typhoon wind field from SAR data.
