Dr. Thomas Meissner, Dr. Vardis Tsontos and Dr. Jorge Vazquez participated in a NASA Earthdata webinar on August 8, 2018, entitled "Don't Pass the Salt! NASA's Salinity Mission Continues with SMAP”
Animation of global sea surface salinity (SSS) over the period 27-08-2011 to 14-05-2015 based on the Aquarius OI-SSS Level 4 7Day version 5.0 product from the International Pacific Research Center of University of Hawaii (IPRC). The dataset can be downloaded from PODAAC Portal at https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/AQUARIUS_L4_OISSS_IPRC_7DAY_V5
PO.DAAC announced the availability of the Level 4 optimally interpolated, 0.5 degree, near-global, 7-day sea surface salinity (OISSS) product for version 5.0 of the Aquarius/SAC-D dataset. OISSS is a principal investigator produced dataset developed at the International Pacific Research Center (IPRC) of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST). The optimal interpolation (OI) mapping procedure used to create this product corrects for systematic spatial biases in

The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the public release of the GRACE Level-1/Level-2 Release-06 (RL06) datasets from the University of Texas Center of Space Research (CSR) and the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The RL06 has made several significant improvements and updates from the current RL05, including updated background force models and improved parameterizations.
The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the availability of the Aquarius celestial sky microwave emission map ancillary dataset from GSFC. This product contains three maps of L-band (wavelength = 21 cm) brightness temperature of the celestial sky used in the processing of the NASA Aquarius instrument data.
