| To produce more precise descriptions of air-sea exchanges under Tropical Cyclones (TCs), spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instruments provide unique capabilities to probe the ocean surface conditions, at very high spatial resolution, and on synoptic scales. Using highly-resolved (3 km) wind fields, an extensive database is constructed from Radarsat-2 and Sentinel-1 SAR acquisitions. Spanning 161 tropical cyclones, the database covers all TC intensity categories that have occurred in five different TC basins, and include 29 cases coincident with SFMR measurements. After locating the TC center, a specific methodology is applied to filter out areas contaminated by heavy precipitations to help extract, for each acquisition, the maximum wind speed... |
