Abstract

The accuracy of wind speed at 10 m above the sea surface from two satellite and three numerical weather prediction (NWP) products is investigated over the global ocean. Rain‐free equivalent neutral winds from the Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) are converted to stability‐dependent winds to be consist...
