New Data Set Release: QuikSCAT Arctic Sea Ice Age Classification
2013-01-16
The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the "Preview" release of the "SeaWinds on QuikSCAT Arctic Sea Ice Age Classification (BYU/SCP)" dataset produced by Dr. David Long at Brigham Young University (BYU) as part of the Scatterometer Climate Record Pathfinder (SCP) (Swan and Long, 2012). This dataset identifies First-Year (FY) and Multi-Year (MY) sea ice using SeaWinds on QuikSCAT scatterometer observations on a daily basis from 20 June 2002 through 23 November 2009.

Data in Action: 20 Years of Radar Altimetry
Over twenty years ago NASA and French partners, CNES, collaborated on what became the first of a series of important oceanographic missions that have been measuring ocean surface topography from space ever since. This first mission, TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P), is no longer operational, having exceeded its expected lifetime of 5 years to provide over 13 years of data. Two follow-on missions, Jason-1, and the Ocean Surface Topography Mission/Jason-2 (OSTM/Jason-2) launched in 2001 and 2008, respectively, and have extended the time series of data to over 20 years.
Could a Hurricane Ever Strike Southern California? (October 17, 2012)
There's an old adage (with several variations) that California has four seasons: earthquake, fire, flood and drought. While Californians happily cede the title of Hurricane Capital of America to U.S. East and Gulf coasters, every once in a while, Mother Nature sends a reminder to Southern Californians that they are not completely immune to the whims of tropical cyclones.
