Estimating Wind Direction and Wind Speed Over Lakes With Surface Water Ocean Topography and Sentinel‐1 Satellite Observations

Abstract Wind at the water‐air interface is an important driver of hydrologic and biogeochemical processes in lakes. Satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is commonly used over the ocean to retrieve wind fields using backscatter coefficients which are sensitive to wind‐driven surface water roughn...
