| Several scientific programs, including the Mediterranean Forecasting System Toward Environmental Predictions (MFSTEP project), request high space and time resolutions of surface wind speed and direction. The purpose of this paper is to focus on surface wind improvements over the global Mediterranean Sea, based on the blending near real time remotely sensed wind observations and ECMWF wind analysis. Ocean surface wind observations are retrieved from QuikSCAT scatterometer and from SSM/I radiometers available at near real time at Meteo-France. Using synchronous satellite data, the number of remotely sensed data available for each analysis epoch ( 00: 00 h; 06: 00 h; 12: 00 h; 18: 00 h) is not uniformly distributed as a function of space and time. On average... |
