Abstract
High-resolution winds derived from RADARSAT-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images have been produced for the waters around Alaska since 1999. Wind speed images show useful details of many meteorological phenomena of interest in weather analysis and forecasting. These include wakes, gap flows, lee waves, atmospheric fronts, cyclones, and barrier jets
