Summary:Satellite remote sensing is an important method to study the distribution and variation of sea surface winds and ocean waves in the Arctic seas.Based on remote sensing data of the orbiting multi-source satellites,the observation capability of the sea surface wind and the ocean wave in the Arctic Ocean is analyzed from three aspects:spatial coverage of remote sensing observations,time coverage and remote sensing data merging.It is concluded as follows.The ASCAT and HY-2A scatterometers can be used for sea surface wind remote sensing observation in the Arctic seas and the multi-satellite joint observation can obtain the sea surface wind remote sensing data with the spatial and temporal resolution of better than 12 hours and 0.1°in the Arctic Ocean.Based on the HY-2A,CryoSat-2,SARAL and Sentinel-3 altimeters,the remote sensing observations of the Arctic seas waves can be realized.The multi-satellite joint observations can obtain the ocean wave remote sensing data of the spatial and temporal resolution of 1 day a
