| hasSummary |
-
The Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) data product is derived
through cross-calibration and assimilation of ocean surface wind
data from SSM/I, TMI, AMSR-E, SeaWinds on QuikSCAT, and SeaWinds on
ADEOS-II. Cross calibration is performed by Remote Sensing Systems
(RSS) under the DISCOVER project [http://www.remss.com/]. These data
sets are combined with conventional observations and a starting
estimate of the wind field using a variational analysis method
(VAM). The ECMWF Reanalysis (ERA-40) is used as the starting
estimate (or background) for July 1987 until December 1998 and the
ECMWF Operational Analysis is used from January 1999 onward.
CCMP is provided by the NASA PO.DAAC and has been evaluated and
utilized extensively by the science community, including some
members of NASA's Ocean Vector Winds Science Team (OVWST).
