SPURS-2 shipboard X-band radar backscatter images for the 2016 E. Tropical Pacific field campaign
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/spur2-xbimg
The SPURS-2 X-band marine navigation radar image dataset was collected from the ship during both the 2016 and 2017 cruises.
Description
The dataset consists of screenshots of rain echoes captured directly from the science-use X-band marine navigation radar. Raw data could not be saved.
The screenshots show qualitative (uncalibrated) echoes of backscatter from rain. For full details on the screenshots, how they should be used, and what they show about rainfall, please refer to our publication: Thompson, E.J., W.E. Asher, A.T. Jessup, and K. Drushka. 2019. High-Resolution Rain Maps from an X-band Marine Radar and Their Use in Understanding Ocean Freshening.

The SPURS (Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study) project is a NASA-funded oceanographic process study and associated field program that aims to elucidate key mechanisms responsible for near-surface salinity variations in the oceans.
