Fig. 6

Wind speed profiles for several TC events at different times, as observed by the Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR, blue lines), compared with wind fields extracted from the ERA5 reanalysis dataset (red lines) and the reconstructed wind field from ERA5 (RE-ERA5, orange lines). Each panel (a–f) represents a specific TC event at the indicated time, with the corresponding storm name labeled and wind speeds plotted against latitude. (g) ERA5 wind speed vs SFMR wind speed. (h) Reconstructed ERA5 wind speed vs SFMR wind speed. The color represents the sample number.
