This report documents techniques and benefits of satellite data in wind and wave models. It provides an overview of available satellite wind and wave data and their possible usage based on the questionnaire prepared by the Expert Team on Wind Waves and Storm Surges (ETWS) to collect information on Members’ use of wind and wave satellite data, in particular, regarding type of sensor used, satellite name, real time use, product name, data format, provider, areas of concern, purpose of use, quality control and status of the data use. The compilation of the questionnaires’ replies contributes to disseminate information about satellite data, to motivate more interest in satellite data and to provide some guidance for future satellite sensors.
