World Ocean Circulation : Algorithm Technical Baseline Document for ERAstar (v1.0)
The ERA* stress-equivalent wind (U10S) and stress vector product version 1.0 is a correction of the ECMWF Fifth Reanalysis (ERA5) output by means of geo-located scatterometer-ERA5 differences over a 3-day temporal window, in which the combined sampling of the Advanced Scatterometers on board the Metop satellite series (ASCAT-A, -B, and -C) and the SCATSat-1 scatterometer (OSCAT2) have been used, for the year 2019. ERA* can correct for local, persistent NWP model output errors associated with physical processes that are absent or misrepresented by the model, e.g., strong current effects (such as WBCS, highly stationary), wind effects associated with the ocean mesoscales (SST), coastal effects (land see breezes, katabatic winds), PBL parameterization errors, and large-scale circulation effects, e.g., at the ITCZ
