This is Revision 1e for QSCAT KU-2001 ocean surface winds
derived using a locally weighted regression interpolation
method. The region of influence (ROI) varies depending on
the quality of the resultant interpolation. ROI of 3 and
5 degrees (latitude x longitude) have been used. The
resultant grids are 0.5 degrees and 3 hour resolution. The
coverage is for 40S to the 70S.
The QSCAT (KU-2001) satellite data were provided by
Remote Sensing Systems.
Notice 07/28/2006: JPL PODAAC has
initiated reprocessing of all ADEOS-II and QuikSCAT data with
superior algorithms for retrievals in high wind speed and light
rain areas. This reprocessing could effect this dataset. More
information is available at
JPL PO.DAAC.
