SEASAT SCATTEROMETER DEALIASED OCEAN WIND VECTORS (JPL-UCLA-AES)
(UCLA_DEALIASED_SASS_L3)| Version | 1 |
| Processing Level | 3 |
| Start/Stop Date | 1978-Jul-07 to 1978-Oct-11 |
| Short Name | UCLA_DEALIASED_SASS_L3 |
| Description | Contains dealiased ocean wind vector components (zonal and meridional) derived from the Seasat-A Scatterometer (SASS) provided on a global 1x1 degree grid. Dealiasing of the SASS data was achieved manually using ship observations in a joint effort between JPL, UCLA and AES. This data set underwent restoration in 1997. Data are provided in ASCII text files at six hour intervals. |
