Description
The Sea Winds instrument was designed to provide wind measurements over the oceans with a resolution of 25x25 km per pixel. Through the use of image enhancement algorithms developed at BYU this resolution can be increased to as fine as 2.5x2.5 km. A description of key portions of this "high resolution" wind retrieval algorithm is given, with a summary of results.
