First Results Obtained in the OSIRIS Project
In the OSIRIS project funded by ESA a potential extension of the current level 2 ENVISAT ASAR wave mode product is investigated. The idea of the project which is still in its first phase is to complement the current product with a complete two dimensional ocean wave spectrum which results from a ble...

In the OSIRIS project funded by ESA a potential extension of the current level 2 ENVISAT ASAR wave mode product is investigated. The idea of the project which is still in its first phase is to complement the current product with a complete two dimensional ocean wave spectrum which results from a blending of the ASAR measurement with information from a numerical model. The estimate of the spectrum is based on a maximum a posteriori approach and is computed with the PARSA (Partition rescale and shift algorithm) developed by DLR. In the presentation first results obtained using a test data set of wave spectra from the WAM model and buoy data from the IFREMER co-location system are presented. The basic methodology of the inversion scheme is presented and different retrieval examples are presented. Triple co-locations of prototype products of the extended level-2 products with co-located buoy and WAM data are analyzed. Furthermore the project structure is explained and the coming activities are summarised. A statistical validation and assessment will be performed in terms of spectral parameters most often used in practise, e.g., zero upcrossing period, peak period, significant wave height, swell wave height, wind sea wave height and propagation directions.
