Alexis Mouche LOPS/IFREMER Recent satellite missions offer a unique opportunity to consistently analyse Tropical Cyclone generated ocean surface waves and associated ocean surface wind field. This includes mostly Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and altimeters missions for waves, and radiometers and SAR for wind. The measurements principles, capabilities and complementary of each mission is presented. Ocean surface wind measurements from radiometers benefit from very large coverage, high revisit time and are weakly sensitive to rain. They provide medium resolution O(50km) wind measurements that can be used for 34-, 50- and 64-kts wind radii estimates. This provides direct information on the storm
