Also, a scatterometer pass near 0500 UTC on the 23rd indicated an open wave with no closed circulation, which justifies the official decision not to treat Chanchu as the continuation of Upana.

This is a non-linear inversion procedure based on an accurate knowledge of the GMF ( in an empirical or semi-empirical form ) that relates the scatterometer backscatter and the vector wind.

Retrieval requires an angular diversity scatterometer measurements with the GMF, which is provided by the scatterometer making several backscatter measurements of the same spot on the ocean's surface from different azimuth angles.

The scatterometer's ability to record wind speeds at the surface allows meteorologists to determine whether a low pressure area is forming and enhance the ability to predict sudden changes in structure and strength.
36.
A wind scatterometer observes the same portion of the ocean surface from different ( at least 3 ) angles of view as the satellite passes by, measuring the echo amplitude and the corresponding surface reflectivity.

Upon his return to JPL, he became the project manager for the NASA Scatterometer ( NSCAT ) Project aimed at space-based measurement of winds over the global oceans with application to weather forecasting.

The European Remote Sensing Satellite, still operating since its launching in 1991, carries a radar instrument that works part time as a scatterometer and has provided limited but continuous sea-wind data for eight years.

These include imaging radars flown on NASA's Space Shuttle, altimeters on Earth-orbiting satellites such as TOPEX / Poseidon, and scatterometers on NASA Scatterometer ( NSCAT ), QuikSCAT, and Jason 1.

An Advanced Scatterometer ( ASCAT ) pass revealed that winds along the western half of the system were in the 35 to 40 knot range, with a band of winds in the luzon strait showing 30 knots.
