The wind vectors from the OSI SAF 12.5 km ASCAT data set (ops vs. coastal)

MetOp-A ASCAT Level 2 Ocean Surface Wind Vectors Optimized for Coastal Ocean

The MetOp-A ASCAT Level 2 Ocean Surface Wind Vectors Optimized for Coastal Ocean dataset provides enhanced coastal coverage of ocean surface wind vectors over the global ice-free oceans at a sampling resolution of 12.5 km. The Ocean and Sea Ice Scatterometer Application Facility (OSI SAF) provides this experimental dataset in near-real-time (NRT) to supplement the existing Level 2 NRT ASCAT ocean wind vector datasets.

Multi-Mission Sea Surface Height Climate Data Record

Multi-Mission Sea Surface Height Climate Data Record

NOTICE: This dataset has been superseded. For the latest information on this data series please visit https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/Integrated_Multi-Mission_Ocean_AltimeterData.   The MEaSUREs Integrated Multi-Mission Ocean Altimeter Data for Climate Research v1.0 sea surface height (SSH) anomaly dataset is comprised of TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P), Jason-1, and OSTM/Jason-2 altimeter data integrated to form a single Sea Surface Height (SSH) Climate Data Record (CDR),...
Jason-1 Enhanced Jason Microwave Radiometer Product

Jason-1 Enhanced Jason Microwave Radiometer Product

The Jason Microwave Radiometer (JMR) Enhanced Product provides an improved rain and sea ice flag valid for the radiometer data products and applies a recently developed coastal processing algorithm to provide wet tropospheric Path Delays (PD) near land, where the data were previously flagged as bad in the Geophysical Data Record (GDR).  The use of satellite altimetry for coastal studies has steadily increased over the past several years, but some of the science processing algorithms used to produce the data products on the GDR are either tuned for the open ocean or only valid in the...
New Pathfinder Version 5.1 Data extends Satellite Derived Climate Data Record (C

New Pathfinder Version 5.1 Data extends Satellite Derived Climate Data Record (CDR)

The Pathfinder program was jointly created by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) through the Earth Observing System (EOS) Program Office. The focus of the Pathfinder Program was to determine how existing satellite based data sets could be reprocessed and used to study global change. The data sets were designed to be long time-series data processed with stable calibration and community consensus algorithms to better assist the research community. The Pathfinder SST program was...
