Abstract
The comparison of SAR-derived wind speeds from scatterometer-based transfer functions and in situ or model wind speeds requires that both data sets represent the presence of equivalent atmospheric stratification and measurement height. We discuss the atmospheric surface layer dynamics underlying corrections to equivalent atmospheric stratification and measurement height. In addition, we review available methods for carrying out the corrections focusing on bulk flux algorithms available in the literature.
