Abstract
The ship and data buoy winds used for comparison in the validation of Seasat-derived winds are described in terms of the time series of hourly wind observations from the buoys and in terms of the technique used to produce 20- and 30-min average winds from the ships. Sources of scatter in the comparison data are briefly reviewed.
