Wind Proxy (estimated)

Wind velocity estimates from wave observing platforms Mudd et al.

Abstract

Near-surface ocean wind estimates of surface wind velocity. This approach is tested using spectral wave measurements from the Coastal Data Information Program (CDIP) buoy array off Monterey, California. Quality controlled wind vectors inferred from wave spectra are statistically compared to measurements from a nearby National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) buoy, demonstrating strong agreement with the control observations with root mean square errors for speed and direction of 1.8 m/s for all wind speeds and 13.2° for wind speeds greater than 7 m/s. We expand this estimation method to account for biofouling, which causes high-frequency damping of the wave spectrum, and the effects of form factor, which impact the platform’s dynamic response to high-frequency waves. The method produces wind-proxy measurements solely from wave spectra and wave-based drag parametrizations, making it useful for operational integration.
