Analysis of variable scatterometer wind fields in the Benguela upwelling region

Bibliography: p. 142-149. / The dissertation seeked to understand the effectiveness of satellite based data collection of wind fields along the west coast of southern Africa, pertaining to particular synoptic atmospheric systems. A comparison between data from two automatic coastal weather stations and measurements obtained by the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT) for the period 1 December 1996 to 31 May 1997 yielded a correlation coefficient of 70%.
