A generalized simulation capability for rotating- beam scatterometers
Rotating-beam wind scatterometers exist in two types: rotating fan-beam and rotating pencil-beam.In our study, a generic simulation frame is established and verified to assess the wind retrieval skill of the three different scatterometers: SCAT on CFOSAT (China France Oceanography SATellite), WindRad (Chinese Wind Radar) on FY-3E, and SeaWinds on Q
