    Analysis of variable scatterometer wind fields in the Benguela upwelling region
    (2001) Johnson, Ashley Stratton; Shillington, Frank; Nelson, G; Roy, Claude
    The dissertation seeked to understand the effectiveness of satellite based data collection of wind fields along the west coast of southern Africa, pertaining to particular synoptic atmospheric systems. A comparison between data from two automatic coastal weather stations and measurements obtained by the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT) for the period 1 December 1996 to 31 May 1997 yielded a correlation coefficient of 70%.
