Innovative algorithms for Sentinel-1 (S1) satellite allow daily observations of meteo-marine parameters, tracking of storm propagation, study of local sea state variability and coastal processes. In order to investigate geophysical processes, the sea state and wind fields estimated simultaneously from S1 scenes acquired twice daily are combined with numerical forecast model results and in-situ measurements. The focus of the investigations are the evolution and propagation of storm peaks/centres,
