Public Release of QuikSCAT Level 1C Averaged Sigma-0 and Winds from Non-spinning Antenna Version 1.0 Dataset
2016-06-29
The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the public release of the “QuikSCAT Level 1C Averaged Sigma-0 and Winds from Non-spinning Antenna Version 1.0” (hereafter L1C) dataset, which contains geo-located and averaged Level 1B Sigma-0 measurements and wind retrievals from QuikSCAT throughout a majority of the non-spinning phase of the QuikSCAT mission. During this time period the instrument was maneuvered in a unique manner to acquire backscatter data from OceanSat-2 and RapidScat incidence angles to allow cross-calibration.
