Improvements in QuikSCAT Near-Real Time Wind Processing Implemented at NOAA/NESDIS Zorana Jelenak, Paul S Chang and Michael J Brennan* NOAA/NESDIS/STAR *NWS/NHC
Changes in Model Function → Higher Wind Speed Retrievals Change made at 16m/s
Change in Processing of the Measurements at the Swath Edge→ Improved Retrievals Correct ambiguities chosen in new processing
Change in Rain Flag → rain flagging reduced from 4.2% (old) to ~1.8% (new) QuikSCAT 25km QuikSCAT_P 25km
New QRad Rain Rate Product → Will be Available in NAWIPS and Web Page
