| hasSummary |
-
Ocean surface wind vector components and wind stress curl data
products are derived from spatial blending of high-resolution
satellite data (NASA Scatterometer - NSCAT) and global weather
center reanalyses (NCEP), resulting in high temporal and spatial
resolution datasets (6-hourly, and 0.5 degree). This global dataset
spans 12 months, August 1996 through July 1997.
The NSCAT scatterometer data is oriented along polar-orbit
satellite swaths. The double-sided instrument yielded two swaths.
Each of them about 600 kilometers wide with a 350 km nadir gap and
at 50 km resolution. The NCEP data consists of global, 6-hourly
reanalysis fields on T62 Gaussian grid with approximate resolution
of 1.8 degrees.
