A significant amount of work with QuikSCAT and ASCAT data has been performed in <strong>DTU</strong><br />

Wind Energy within the FP7 NORSEWInD project (TREN-FP7-219048). Other projects includethe<br />

FP7EuropeanRegionalDevelopmentFundand the SouthBalticProgramme: South<br />

Baltic Offshore Wind Energy Regionsproject and the FP7 EU ORECCA. The QuikSCAT data<br />

used here are obtained from Remote Sensing Systems. ASCAT data are courtesy of KNMI.<br />

Data from Horns Rev (M2) are provided by Vattenfall and DONG Energy. Fino-1 meteorological<br />

data are obtained from DEWI (Deutsches Windenergie Institut, German Wind Energy<br />

Institute), oceanographic data from BSH, all through the NORSEWInD project. Greater Gabbard<br />

data are provided by SSE Renewables.<br />

The bibliographic references in this chapter give a good overview of the scatterometry fundamentalsandapplications.TheMartin(2004)bookishighlysuggestedforthroroughreading<br />

and extended descriptions. The International Ocean Vector Winds Science Team (IOVWST)<br />

holds annual meetings regarding the current advancements and applications of scatterometry<br />

(http://coaps.fsu.edu/scatterometry/meeting/).When using scatterometerdata,<br />

the specific product’s User Guide is a recommended document that describes in detail the<br />

nature of the data, the processing and quality flagging schemes.<br />
