Summary • Doppler velocity retrievals from Agulhas is shown to work very well both for individual acquisitions and in climatological mean. • Wind removal is very important. Work with incidence angles > 30 • The method also seem to work in ocean areas of less intense currents. The relationship to MDT (and steep topographic slopes) is very good. • Dynamic framework for quantitative interpretation of high resolution satellite synergydata has emerged with promising capabilities. • Combination with SAR simulation models strengthen the framework.

Summary
• Doppler velocity retrievals from Agulhas is shown to work very well both for individual acquisitions and in climatological mean.
• Wind removal is very important. Work with incidence angles > 30
• The method also seem to work in ocean areas of less intense currents. The relationship to MDT (and steep topographic slopes) is very good.
• Dynamic framework for quantitative interpretation of high resolution satellite synergydata has emerged with promising capabilities.
• Combination with SAR simulation models strengthen the framework.
Recommendations
• Accuracy and resolution of Doppler centroid estimation need more investigation and preferably improvement.
• TerraSAR-X tandem (along track IF) and Radarsat acquisitions over super sites are highly wanted. S1 and S3 (S2) orbits in constellation
• Physical based scattering model included in dynamic framework.
• Validation by opportunities – air sea interaction experiment
• Operational demonstration is now feasible for selected sites. Important product for oceanographers and modelers??
