Abstract

Abstract

Three sea surface wind products(CCMP,NCEP,and ERA) have been cross compared and evaluated using moored-buoy observations in Taiwan Strait in 2011. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) The horizontal pattern of the surface wind from the three products are similar and the time variation are consistent with each other; the wind speed forecast of NCEP in the middle and southern Taiwan Strait in winter is bigger than that of CCMP and ERA. (2)The wind speed bias,wind speed RMSE and wind direction RMSE of CCMP are -0.62 m/s,1.67 m/s and 31° respectively,compared with those of NCEP being 0.15 m/s,1.64 m/s and 31°,and those of ERA being -1.36 m/s,2.4 m/s and 33°; CCMP and NCEP are found to be more close to observations than ERA. (3) During the south-west monsoon and at low wind speed range(≤10 m/s),CCMP shows higher credibility while NCEP's wind speed is over-estimated; during the east-north monsoon and at high wind speed range(>10 m/s),NCEP shows higher credibility while CCMP's wind speed is under-estimated. (4) The wind direction RMSE of the three products are close to each other and show the same characteristic that the RMSE is bigger at low wind speed range (<5 m/s). Those findings will provide references for choosing appropriate sea surface wind product in Taiwan Strait.
