SMAP Tropical Cyclone Size and Intensity Validation
TLDR
This work considers the size of the SMAP cyclones and compare them to the Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting (ATCF) system B-deck files and updates the SFMR analysis with an additional year of data to strengthen the previous conclusions. Expand
Can We Improve Parametric Cyclonic Wind Fields Using Recent Satellite Remote Sensing Data?
TLDR
It is demonstrated that recent progress in estimating extreme surface wind speeds from satellite remote sensing now makes it possible to assess the performance of existing parametric models, and select a relevant one with greater objectivity, and suggest that none of the traditional empirical approaches are the best option in all cases.

Uncertainty of Tropical Cyclone Wind Radii on Sea Surface Temperature Cooling
Tropical cyclones (TCs) in the western North Pacific are some of the most destructive natural disasters on Earth (Emanuel, 2020; Lin et al., 2014, 2021; Peduzzi et al., 2012; Pun et al., 2019).… Expand

Estimating Tropical Cyclone Wind Structure and Intensity From Spaceborne Radiometer and Synthetic Aperture Radar
TLDR
The results show that a combination of the radiometer and SAR wind data acquired within a very short time interval has the potential to simultaneously obtain reasonable measurements of the wind radii and intensity parameters, and demonstrate that the high-resolution and multitemporal synergistic observations from SAR and radiometer are valuable for studying fine-scale features of theWind field and characteristics of wind asymmetry associated with intensity change.
