NSCAT/NCEP Blended Ocean Winds (Version 1.0)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
Ocean surface wind vector components and wind stress curl data products are derived from spatial blending of high-resolution satellite data (NASA Scatterometer - NSCAT) and global weather center reanalyses (NCEP), resulting in high temporal and spatial resolution datasets (6-hourly, and 0.5 degree).
Description
This global dataset spans 12 months, August 1996 through July 1997. The NSCAT scatterometer data is oriented along polar-orbit satellite swaths.
The double-sided instrument yielded two swaths. Each of them about 600 kilometers wide with a 350 km nadir gap and at 50 km resolution. The NCEP data consists of global, 6-hourly reanalysis fields on T62 Gaussian grid with approximate resolution of 1.8 degrees.
