This paper uses the space-borne global navigation satellite systems reflected signal (GNSS-R) as the remote sensing signal source. Using the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) satellite data, this paper selects a variety of feature parameters according to the correlation between the features of the sea surface reflection signal and the wind direction, including the Delay Doppler Map (DDM), corresponding to the CYGNSS satellite parameters and geometric feature parameters. The Radial Basis Function (RBF) is selected, and parameter optimization is performed through cross-validation based on the grid search method. Finally, the SVM model of sea surface wind direction retrieval is established. The result shows that this method has a high retrieval classification accuracy using the dataset with wind speed greater than 10 m\/s, and the root mean square error (RMSE) of the retrieval result is 26.70\u00b0.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13214451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,7]],"date-time":"2021-11-07T20:42:54Z","timestamp":1636317774000},"page":"4451","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Wind Direction Retrieval Using Support Vector Machine from CYGNSS Sea Surface Data"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Yun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Marine Intelligent Information and Navigation Remote Sensing Engineering Technology Research Center, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Marine Intelligent Information and Navigation Remote Sensing Engineering Technology Research Center, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wanting","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Spaceflight Institute of TT&C and Telecommunication, Shanghai 201109, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiwei","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Marine Intelligent Information and Navigation Remote Sensing Engineering Technology Research Center, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0682-9157","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yanling","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Marine Intelligent Information and Navigation Remote Sensing Engineering Technology Research Center, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0045-1066","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhonghua","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Marine Intelligent Information and Navigation Remote Sensing Engineering Technology Research Center, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9967-7756","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuhu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shanghai Marine Intelligent Information and Navigation Remote Sensing Engineering Technology Research Center, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai 201306, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"L02608","DOI":"10.1029\/2008GL036292","article-title":"Analysis of GNSS-R delay-Doppler maps from the UK-DMC satellite over the ocean","volume":"36","author":"Clarizia","year":"2009","journal-title":"Geophys.
