GLOBAL AND REGIONAL SURFACE WIND FIELD INFERENCES FROM SPACEBORNE SCATTEROMETER DATA 42 Ralph Milliff Global and Regional Surface Wind Field Inferences from Spaceborne Scatterometer Data Transcript of Presentation Technical Paper Title Page Presentation Summary Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Table 1 BIOSKETCH: Ralph Milliff is a research scientist at the Colorado Research Associates division of NorthWest Research Associates. His expertise is in numerical modeling of the ocean and atmosphere and in the relation of air-sea dynamics to climate. He was an ocean modeling postdoctoral fellow at NCAR (1989â1991), and a staff scientist there until 2001. Dr. Milliff has served as a member of the NASA Ocean Vector Winds Science Team for the NSCAT and QSCAT missions (1991-present). His current research involves the application of global surface vector wind datasets of studies of upper ocean mixing and the ocean's general circulation, the Madden-Julian Oscillation, and the quasistationary waves of the Southern Hemisphere. In addition, Dr. Milliff is adapting methods of Bayesian hierarchical models from probability and statistics to problems of air-sea interaction.
