Abstract
Abstract Using colocated ASCAT and ECMWF winds, a careful global analysis of ENVISAT and Sentinel‐1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements helps to refine, at medium resolution (tens of kilometers) and especially for HH configuration, a C‐band geophysical model function (GMF, i.e., C‐SARMOD) to analyze wind sensitivity for different incidence and azimuth angles. Results unify major findings from previous global and case studies for polarization ratio (PR, VV/HH), polarization difference (PD, VV‐HH), and cross‐polarization (CP). At lower level than standard two‐scale predictions, PR increases with increasing incidence angle and decreases with increasing wind speed. PR further exhibits a strong azimuthal modulation, with maximum values in downwind configurations. The PD azimuth modulation is found more pronounced for VV than HH (VV being larger than HH), reaching maximum values for wind speed about 10 m/s. CP signals decrease with incidence angle but increase with wind speed, especially beyond 10 m/s, with no evidence of saturation. Remarkably, this also applies to HH crosswind measurements. This comparable high wind sensitivity for both CP and HH crosswind signals, with a clear departure from PD ones, can be related to the onset of vigorous breaking events, large enough to impact in‐plane and out‐of‐plane local tilts. Considering that VV polarization best maximizes the polarized resonant contribution, combined CP and VV wide swath SAR observations can thus have the potential to efficiently map and contrast local directional aspects.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
