| Short Name | NSCAT_LEVEL_2_V0 |
| Description | The NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) Level 2 ocean wind vectors in 50 km wind vector cell (WVC) swaths contain daily data from ascending and descending passes. The local time at the equator for the ascending node is 2230 /- 30 minutes; the local time at the equator for the descending node is 1030 /- 30 minutes. Wind vectors are accurate to within 2 m/s (vector speed) and 20 degrees (vector direction). Wind vectors are not considered valid in rain contaminated regions; rain flags and precipitation information are not provided. Data is flagged where measurements are either missing, ambiguous, or contaminated by land/sea ice. This is version 0, which designates the initial calibration, validation and science data processing on behalf of the JPL NSCAT Project; wind vectors are processed using the Seasat SASS-2 geophysical model function.
