Part I of this study simulates real time use of ERS-1 data through assimilation of Seasat scatterometer data in the ECMWF system. The potential for quality assurance and validation is demonstrated by documenting a series of substantial problems with the scatterometer data, some of which are known but have taken years to establish, and others of which are quite new. Part I also presents a data impact study, and an analysis of the performance of ambiguity removal algorithms on both real and simulated data.
