摘要：

The Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission was launched on January 31, 2015. It is a combined L-band active/passive system envisioned for the measurement of soil moisture over land. In addition to the soil moisture measurement, the SMAP data readily permit retrievals of ocean surface winds and sea surface salinity. In the previous work, we have found that the SMAP radiometer displays sensitivity to ocean surface wind all the way up to the most extreme wind speeds, possibly as high as 70 m/s, far beyond what is capable with typical C- and K u-bands ocean wind scatterometers. In this letter, we use the Rapid Scatterometer and stepped frequency microwave radiometer to further validate these SMAP radiometer-only high-wind speed retrievals. In addition, we consider the size of the retrieved high wind speeds, validating them with the Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting system B-deck files.
