The code for analysis of data indicating wind and sea state features in wind scatterometer observations

This code file set contains the four key code files for analyzing the data set indicating wind and sea state features in wind scatterometer observations. In the four files, one loads the data set and act as the main data stream control. Two are for the function for the analyzing results figure generating the Ku-band and C-band data from OSCAT-2, ASCAT-A and ASCAT-B, against wave information from buoy respectively. And the last one is a function for getting the wind speed binned parameter mean values in the set bin size. The specific function descriptions are as below: 1.    File name: “sea_state_vs_normalized_sig_diff.m”Specific processing: 1)   Load the data set;2)   Control the data processing flow include:a)     Analysis of gust wind in different form;b)     Analysis of gust wind in ratio form; c)     Analysis of wave age; d)     Analysis of significant wave;e)     Analysis of wave slope parameter.Inputs: The data set include scatterometer information and wave information.Outputs: The figures of the manuscript for scatterometer and wave information information.   2.      File name:“check_sea_state_para_KU_1.m”Specific processing:  The function analyzing of the Ku-band normalized NRCS with wave parameterand collocated rains.Inputs: 1) para: the wave parameter.2)nor_diff_sig_vv1Ku0_n: the differences of NRCS from observations and model values, normalized by the model values.
