Spatio-temporal regularization of global ocean waves obtained from satellite and their graphical representation

Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics 2021-01-01 v2

Abstract

An algorithm for representing irregular satellite data obtained from advanced synthetic aperture radar (ASAR) uniformly in space and time is introduced and comparison with WAVEWATCH III model (WW3) data is carried out. Swell global data for 2007 are analysed using statistical parameters such as bias and scattering index. Satellite data showed a great spatial uniformity compared with WW3 model. Results show underestimation of swell height by the model in the tropics and at specific higher latitude regions.
