Overview

The SMOS WRF product is available in Near Real Time to support tropical cyclones (TC) forecasts.

It is generated within 4 to 6 hours from sensing from the SMOS L2 swath wind speed products (SMOS L2WS NRT), in the so-called "Fix (F-deck)" format compatible with the US Navy's ATCF (Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecasting) System.

The SMOS WRF "fixes" to the best-track forecasts contain : the SMOS 10-min maximum-sustained winds (in knots) and wind radii (in nautical miles) for the 34 kt (17 m/s), 50 kt (25 m/s) and 64 kt (33 m/s) winds per geographical storm quadrants, and for each SMOS pass intercepting a TC in all the active ocean basins.

See the complete description the "SMOS Wind Data Service Product Description Document" ( http://www.smosstorm.org/Document-tools/SMOS-Wind-Data-Service-Documentation ).
