NSCAT Level 3 Daily Gridded Ocean Wind Vectors (Version 1)
(NSCAT_LEVEL_3_V1)| DOI | |
| Short Name | NSCAT_LEVEL_3_V1 |
| Description | The NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) Level 3 daily gridded ocean wind vectors are provided at 0.5 degree spatial resolution for ascending and descending passes; wind vectors are averaged at points where adjacent passes overlap. 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 1, which designates the second phase of calibration, validation and science data processing, which began in April of 1997, on behalf of the JPL NSCAT Project; wind vectors are processed using the NSCAT-1 geophysical model function.
