Sea-surface winds in the Iceland-Faeroe area, as derived from the ERS-1 scatterometer
This report presents measurements of surface meteorological data taken during three cruises of R/V Alliance to the Iceland-Faeroe frontal area during August 1991 (NORDIC'91), March 1992 (NORDIC'92a) and October 1992 (NORDIC'92b). Wind velocity and direction, as measured at three diffe...
