Doppler scatterometer is able to measure radar backscattering coefficient and Doppler frequency over sea surface, such that it can be used to retrieve sea surface wind and sea surface current simultaneously. This paper performs a study on the joint wind and current retrieval based on the observation data from an airborne Doppler scatterometer, which results are compared with those of independent retrieval. The results indicate that the accuracy of sea surface current is significantly improved by introducing the radar backscattering coefficients into the joint inversion method, however, the accuracy of the retrieved wind field from the joint inversion method is slightly lower than that of the independent wind inversion, compared to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts winds. This implies that the Doppler information has little influence on the wind retrieval, while the radar backscattering coefficients (the wind) have a remarkable impact on the sea surface current retrieval. The joint inversion algorithm can mitigates the effects of sea surface wind for the current retrieval. The results of this study provide a new insight to the interplay between wind inversion and current retrieval, and also provide a reference for the data processing of spaceborne Doppler scatterometer.
