Air–sea interaction over ocean fronts and eddies (2008, background): “The wind curl signature is partly due to the atmospheric response and partly due to the ocean currents, which may increase/decrease the stress when wind flows against/with the current (Kelly et al., 2001; Chelton et al., 2004), as discussed in Section 4.2.”
The Probability Distribution of Sea Surface Wind Speeds. Part I: Theory and SeaWinds Observations (2006, background): “In regions of swift surface currents, the sea surface wind vector observed by the scatterometer will differ from the actual wind vector by the surface current vector (e.g., Kelly et al. 2001, 2005; Chelton et al. 2004).”
Progress in Scatterometer Application (2002, methodology): “The effect of ocean surface current on the accuracy of scatterometer winds has been studied by Cornillon and Park (2001), Polito et al. (2001), and Kelly et al. (2001).”
Coupled ocean-atmosphere interaction at oceanic mesoscales (2010, background): “The solid circles and error bars in the binned scatter plots are, respectively, the overall average and the standard deviation of the individual binned averages over eight January–February time periods for panels a–c and four January– February time periods for panels d and e.

Ocean Circulation and Tropical Variability in the Coupled Model ECHAM5/MPI-OM (2006, unknown): “Kelly et al. (2001) compared satellite derived scatterometer data with those from the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) array and found that the differences between both products can be as large as 50%.”
Wind Stress Dependence on Ocean Surface Velocity: Implications for Mechanical Energy Input to Ocean Circulation (2006, methodology): “Using buoy data, Kelly et al. (2001) show this more explicitly.”
