海面反射的太阳光很大程度上取决于由风驱动的海况。反射光和风速之间的关系由众所周知的考克斯和芒克模型描述。使用他们的模式，从空间的闪烁模式的测量，反演的天气场的风大小的方法。这种方法适用于TIROS-N卫星系列获得的数据。用这种方法估算的风与从等压面图得到的风的比较显示出非常接近的一致。该方法简单易行，适用范围广。
Solar light reflected by the surface of the sea depends strongly on the sea state which is driven by the wind. The relationship between the reflected light and wind speed is described by the well-known model of Cox and Munk. Using their model, a method is derived for the retrieval of the synoptic field of wind magnitude from measurements of the glitter pattern from space. This method is applied to data obtained by the TIROS-N satellite series. Comparison of the wind estimated in this way and the wind derived from isobaric charts shows very close agreement. The method is simple and has application over broad geographical areas.
