Short summary
This paper describes the differences between ocean surface winds provided by ERA reanalyses and satellite scatterometer observations. This work is motivated by the widespread use of reanalysis winds for ocean forcing in marine forecasting centers and the application of observations to characterize reanalysis wind errors, which we conjecture are related to deficiencies in the physics of the underlying assimilating model (insufficient wind variability at high spatial and temporal frequencies).
