Data In Action: NASA CYGNSS mission - tracking winds from space
The Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), launched on 15 December 2016, is a NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder Mission that was designed with the purpose to collect the first frequent space-based measurements of surface wind speeds in the inner core of tropical cyclones. Made up of a constellation of eight micro-satellites, the CYGNSS observatory provides coverage over the tropical oceans between approximately 38° N and 38° S latitude with an average revisit time of seven hours.

Animation: Ocean surface wind speed animation of the CYGNSS Level 3 Climate Data Record Version 1.0
Animation of the CYGNSS Level 3 Climate Data Record Version 1.0 dataset from 2017 to 2020. This dataset contains the Version 1.0 CYGNSS Level 3 Climate Data Record which provides the average wind speed and mean square slope (MSS) on a 0.2x0.2 degree latitude by longitude equirectangular grid obtained from the Delay Doppler Mapping Instrument aboard the CYGNSS satellite constellation.
GHRSST NOAA GOES-17 L2P/L3C Version 2.71 and Himawari-8 L2P/L3C Version 2.70 Datasets Release
2020-05-21
The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the public release of the GHRSST NOAA GOES-17 (G17) L2P/L3C version 2.71 and Himawari-8 (H08) L2P/L3C version 2.70 datasets. GOES-17 is the second satellite in the US NOAA's GOES-R series equipped with Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) sensor identical to GOES-16 satellite. H08 is the 8th of the Himawari geostationary weather satellites operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Its Advanced Himawari Imager (AHI) sensor is almost the same as GOES-17/ABI.

NASA Saildrone Arctic Campaign Dataset Released
2020-05-18
The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the availability of the Saildrone Arctic field campaign data. This campaign involved the deployment of a fleet of 5 saildrones, jointly funded by NASA and NOAA, from Dutch Harbor, Alaska, within the Bering and Chukchi Seas to the ice edge and back over a 150-day period from 15 May 2019 to 11 October 2019. Scientific objectives include collecting upper ocean temperature profiles with a full suite of ocean measurements. The Saildrone Arctic dataset hosted at the PO.DAAC is comprised of 3 data files for each of the two NASA-funded saildrones deployed.
