A Note on Satellite Altimeter–Derived Wave Height and Wind Speed Measurements in the Gulf of Mexico
The reliability of satellite-based significant wave height (SWH) and wind speed (Ws) measurements in the Gulf of Mexico is examined. Measurements derived from the SARAL/AltiKa, Jason-3, and Sentinel-3A altimeters are compared with in situ buoy observations from 10 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA...
