Source/sensor: SeaWinds on ADEOS-II

Coverage: 10 April 2003 to 24 October 2003, global

Abstract:
This product is very similar to Product 141, SeaWinds on ADEOS-II Level 2B Ocean Wind Vectors in 25km Swath, except that this data set includes empirical attenuation and backscatter corrections based on the AMSR radiometer, which was colocated on the ADEOS-II spacecraft.
