Source/sensor: Seasat Scatterometer (SASS)

Coverage: 7 July 1978 to 10 October 1978, global

Abstract: SASS provided normalized radar cross section (sigma0) measurements of the Earth's surface. While originally designed for wind observation, scatterometer sigma0 measurements have proven useful in a variety of land and ice studies. To aid in the application of these measurements, Brigham Young University prepared this dataset consisting of enhanced resolution images generated from SASS sigma0 measurements.

This data set consists of enhanced resolution images generated from Seasat sigma0 measurements.
