| Objective | Perfecting and validating in-situ means of measuring the sea state and wind in order to calibrate active sensors (altimeter and scatterometer) on satellite: 1) Testing IFREMER's wind buoy prototype;2) Validating geophysical measurements made by scatterometers on aircraft; 3) Inter-comparison of means to measure wind at sea (vessel compared to 4 types of buoys). Studying the variability of wind at sea over time and space. |
