Satellite-derived ERS scatterometer sea-surface wind-stress curl in the southwestern Indian Ocean /Petit, Michel Ramos, A. G. /Lahet, Florence Coca, J. ocean satellite wind stress curl Ekman mesoscale model Surface marine wind data base front ERS-1 scatterometer has been processed to define the characteristic seasonal distribution of wind-stress curl throughout the southwestern Indian Ocean between January and December 1994. A compact model to obtain satellite-derived wind-stress curl fields on smaller scales than previously available is proposed and evaluated. The results indicate the strong capability of the ERS-1 scatterometer to monitor wind-driven variations in the mesoscale ocean patterns. 2006 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010035597 fdi:010035597 Petit Michel, Ramos A.
