Abstract

This study addresses preliminary results about the seasonal wind variability, especially during the winter season, in South Italy. Wind climate for the coastal waters off South Italy was estimated based on images of the Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) onboard the ENVISAT satellite during the period from March 2002 to April 2012.
