SAR-derived wind speeds, altimetry measured Significant Wave Heights under typhoon Surigae
Level-3 Significant Wave Height (lines), SAR-derived winds speeds (areas) and typhoon track (color and size-coded with respect to measured wind speed) from April 15 to 24, 2021. The sustained speed retrieved from the SAR surface roughness were over 65 m/s that day (SAR winds: CYMS project (CLS/Ifremer for ESA), typhoon track from Japan Meteorological Agency Best Track Data; plotting Aviso)
