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. specialized ocean satellite wind stress curl Ekman mesoscale model 126 032 338 3 206-213 2006 1631-0713 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010035597 10.1016/j.crte.2005.10.002 1631-0713 [F B010035597] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010035597 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2006/04/010035597.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2006-05-05 2017-08-23 fdi:010035597 fre
