NSCAT Scatterometer Ocean Winds, Level 2
|
|
NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) global ocean surface winds are determined
from sigma-naught backscatter. JPL has provided the data, and the
satellite provided only a short archive (1996sep-1997jun) before
failure. The
near surface wind speeds were determined with the NSCAT-1 model function.
Several forms of NSCAT data are available.
- Level 2B orbit swath data.
- 0.5-degree by 0.5-degree 2x daily gridded fields, 75S to 75N.
- In July 1998 a collection of 11 CD-ROMs containing the Level
2(50km), Level 3 (daily average), and Level 2(25km) NSCAT
were received and archived in the DSS CD-ROM collection. These
CD's have a full collection of documentation, read access
software, browse images, and ancillary information.
