Two-scale model results were computed by J. T. Johnson using a code based on: Yueh, S. H., ``Modeling of wind direction signals in polarimetric sea surface brightness temperatures," IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, vol. 35, pp. 1400-1418 Nov 1997. No atmospheric or foam contributions are included in these calculations (i.e. F_r in Yueh's equation (6) is set to zero.) The Durden-Vesecky spectrum with parameter a_0=0.008 is used as described in Appendix D of the reference, and as described in equation (59) the parameter b_0 is set to match the long and short wave spectra at k_j=2 rads/m. The long wave slope pdf is assumed to be Gaussian, and the hydrodynamic modulation function of the reference in equation (11) is included. Input parameters to the code at 19.35 GHz were as follows: Frequency 19.35 GHz Sea Water Dielectric Constant 29.04+i35.55 Surface temperature 285 K Friction Velocity u 0.312547 m/s Resulting U_19.5 9 m/s Incidence angle Theta 55 degrees Azimuth angle Phi 0 to 180 degrees in 15 degree steps (0 degrees indicates upwind observation) k_d long/short wave 120 rads/m separation parameter Short wave spectrum set to 8100 rads/m zero above Value of spectral parameter 0.503723923 D obtained by code Long wave upwind rms slope 0.158506815 (obtained by code) Long wave crosswind rms slope 0.152902961 (obtained by code) At 37 GHz parameters were the same as above, except Frequency 37 GHz Sea Water Dielectric Constant 14.34+i24.17 k_d long/short wave 230 rads/m separation parameter Short wave spectrum set to 15500 rads/m zero above Long wave upwind rms slope 0.171670531 (obtained by code) Long wave crosswind rms slope 0.160021616 (obtained by code) D is identical to above. These results should be similar to those used in Figure 4 of the reference. Files are included both with and without tilting over the long wave slope distribution. In cases without tilting, the hydrodynamic modulation term is not applied. Tilted results were obtained by a Gauss-Hermite quadrature over the long wave slope distribution, which usually converged to within 0.1 K in Th, Tv, and U brightnesses with 4x4 or 5x5 points. The run took about 9 minutes to obtain all 13 brightness temperatures in the untilted case, about 300 minutes for the tilted cases, using the f77 -O3 compiler on RedHat Linux 6.2 with an 800 MHz Pentium III processor. The files contain data in 7 columns. The data are: u (m/s) | Theta (deg) | Phi (deg) | Th (K) | Tv (K) | U (K) | V (K) | Please contact me to discuss how our codes compare. I expect there may be some internal parameters not listed above that may cause some differences between codes. We can develop more detailed comparisons of internal code variables to assist in locating the sources of any differences observed. Other cases can also be tried as the study progresses. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel T.
