title: QSCAT and ADEOS-II / NCEP Blended Ocean Winds (version 1.0)

description: Ocean surface wind data are derived from spatial blending of high-resolution satellite data from tandem SeaWinds missions (QSCAT and ADEOS-II) and global weather center analyses (NCEP), resulting in high temporal and spatial resolution datasets (6-hourly, and 0.5 by 0.5 degree). This two-scatterometer blending product is only available for the duration of the ADEOS-II mission (April 10 to October 24 2003). The blending scheme is a variation of the single-scatterometer blending (QSCAT only, ds744.4 [http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds744.4/]): the main difference is a 7.5 hour time-window used for blending versus the sliding 12-hour window in the QSCAT only blending. Available data products are: the blended product, which consists of QSCAT and ADEOS-II blended with NCEP analyses; and the low-wavenumber analysis field, which is the NCEP analyses splined to the 0.5 by 0.5 degree grid. These fields are available as wind components or as windstress curl. Details of the method are summarized in this document [http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds744.8/docs/Blended_Winds_Summary_doc]. Data file formats and read routines are the same as for QSCAT/NCEP blending (ds744.4).

title: NSCAT/NCEP Blended Ocean Winds (Version 1.0)

description: 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.

title: QSCAT (Ku-2001) Ocean Winds Derived by Locally Weighted Regression Interpolation (Version 1e)

description: This revision is Version 1e for QSCAT Ku-2001 ocean surface winds derived using a locally weighted regression interpolation method. The region of influence (ROI) varies depending on the quality of the resultant interpolation. ROI of 3 and 5 degrees (latitude by longitude) have been used. The resultant grids are 0.5 degrees and 3 hour resolution. The coverage is for 40S to the 70S. The QSCAT (Ku-2001) satellite data were provided by Remote Sensing Systems.Notice 07/28/2006: JPL PO.DAAC has initiated reprocessing of all ADEOS-II and QuikSCAT data with superior algorithms for retrievals in high wind speed and light rain areas. This reprocessing could effect this dataset. More information is available at JPL PO.DAAC [http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/].

title: SeaWinds QuikSCAT Scatterometer Ocean Winds from Remote Sensing Systems

description: The SeaWinds instrument on the QuikSCAT satellite is a specialized radar that measures near-surface wind speed and direction at a 25 km resolution. This instrument has been measuring winds over approximately 90% of the ice-free ocean since 19 July 1999. These data were prepared by Remote Sensing Systems (RSS). A new geophysical model function, called Ku-2001, was used in this version of the dataset and is considered an improvement over the earlier Ku-2000 and the old NSCAT-2 functions because of more accurate retrievals of high winds (greater than 30 m/s). The dataset time series ends in June 2002, however, continuing data are available from RSS. Many more details concerning the Ku-2001 data are available from the RSS website [http://www.remss.com/]. These data are also directly available from RSS.Notice 07/28/2006: JPL PO.DAAC has initiated reprocessing of all ADEOS-II and QuikSCAT data with superior algorithms for retrievals in high wind speed and light rain areas. This reprocessing could effect this dataset. More information is available at JPL PO.DAAC [http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/].

title: ESA ERS-1 and ERS-2 Scatterometer Ocean Surface Winds

description: There are several products available in this dataset. * Wind direction and speed derived by JPL from the scatterometer instrument aboard the ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellites. These along swath orbit data are online at NCAR. However, due to restrictions place on the data usage, by the European Space Agency (ESA), data users must first receive permission to use this dataset. Questions concerning permission should be directed to: * The above ERS products were archived in the 1990s and are quite old versions. Better versions are available through European KNMI/ESA sources. [https://scatterometer.knmi.nl/archived_prod/] * 1-degree by 1-degree, 80S to 80N, monthly mean grids for ERS1 (1991.01-1996.05) and ERS2 (1996.04-1999.12). These data were obtained directly from CERSAT, IFREMER, France. [http://cersat.ifremer.fr/] Extant variables include wind speed, u- and v- wind components, stresses, divergence and curl.

title: NASA International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) C2, 1983-1991

description: Monthly averages for each 3-hour period during a day, and monthly average for all data. News as of August 23, 1993: ISCCP Global Processing Center is changing the algorithm for cloud detection. The "old" algorithm which was used to generate C1 and C2 products so far will be replaced by the "new" algorithm. The new algorithm will improve the cloud detection in the polar regions. The production of "C" level products of the current and previous months will progress in parallel. It is expected to have 10-year (July 1983 to June 1994) ISCCP C products in Fall 1995. The C1 and C2 products using the "old" algorithm stops at the end of June 1991. Again, if you are interested in areas other than the polar regions (cutoff at about 55 latitude), little change of the cloudiness caused by using the new algorithm is expected.

title: Cloud Properties from ISCCP and PATMOS-x Corrected for Spurious Variability Related to Changes in Satellite Orbits, Instrument Calibrations, and Other Factors

description: A post hoc empirical correction procedure has been applied to grid box anomalies in total cloud amount from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) dataset and the Pathfinder Atmospheres - Extended (PATMOS-x) dataset to remove spurious variability related to changes in satellite orbit, instrument calibration, and other factors. The corrected satellite cloud datasets are useful for investigation of regional cloud changes but can not be used for studies of globally averaged cloud change because the methods employed remove any real cloud variability occurring on global scales together with spurious variability. Also note that the correction procedure does not remove spatial biases in climatological mean cloud properties. The available corrected data include monthly anomalies in total cloud amount on a 2.5 degree by 2.5 degree grid for the time period 1983-2009 (the first six months of 1983 are not available for ISCCP). No data are available poleward of 60 degree latitude due to difficulty in accurately retrieving cloud properties over cold, bright surfaces.

title: NOAA (ERL) Highly Reflective Cloud (HRC) Analyses, monthly 1971-1985

description: NOAA has computed monthly total and normalized monthly total grids from daily 1-degree grids of highly reflective clouds (HRC) for January 1971 to December 1985. In addition to these grids, there are grids indicating the number of missing days in the monthly total grids, and long term means and standard deviations of normalized monthly total grids.These data are based on once daily visible pictures from orbiting satellites. The pictures were manually inspected for highly reflective clouds. If a 1-degree latitude-longitude square was dominated by such clouds that were likely to be associated with precipitation, a "yes" was recorded for the square.

title: GPM IMERG Final Precipitation L3 1 month 0.1 degree x 0.1 degree V07

description: This dataset contains Version 07 of the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) IMERG Level 3 "Final Run" precipitation analysis at 0.1 degree, monthly resolution. From the official GPM IMERG site at NASA GES DISC [https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/datasets/GPM_3IMERGM_07/summary]: The Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) IMERG is a NASA product estimating global surface precipitation rates at a high resolution of 0.1 degree every half-hour beginning June 2000. It is part of the joint NASA/JAXA Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, using the GPM Core Observatory satellite (for June 2014 to present) and the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite (for June 2000 to May 2014) as the standard to combine precipitation observations from an international constellation of satellites using advanced techniques. IMERG can be used for global-scale applications, including over regions with sparse or no reliable surface observations. The fine spatial and temporal resolution of IMERG data allows them to be accumulated to the scale of the application for increased skill. IMERG has three Runs with varying latencies in response to a range of application needs: rapid-response applications (Early Run, 4-hour latency), same/next-day applications (Late Run, 14-hour latency), and post-real-time research (Final Run, 4-month latency). While IMERG strives for consistency and accuracy, satellite estimates of precipitation are expected to have lower skill over frozen surfaces, complex terrain, and coastal zones. As well, the changing GPM satellite constellation over time may introduce artifacts that affect studies focusing on multi-year changes. This dataset contains Version 07 of the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) IMERG Level 3 "Final Run" precipitation analysis at 0.1 degree x 0.1 degree, monthly resolution. The dataset represents the Final Run estimate of the monthly mean precipitation rate in mm/day. The dataset is produced by first computing the mean precipitation rate for the month in each grid cell from half-hourly satellite-only IMERG estimates, adjusting the satellite data field to the large-area bias of the Global Precipitation Climatology Project analysis of monthly surface precipitation gauges, then combining the adjusted satellite and the GPCC gauge analysis weighted by estimated inverse random error variance. The IMERG Monthly is considered the most reliable dataset. See the official GPM IMERG site at NASA GES DISC [https://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/datasets/GPM_3IMERGM_07/summary] for the complete dataset abstract and more information.
