SeaWinds 50 km winds Release 2 - Reprocessed
Description
Reprocessed stress-equivalent 10m winds over the global oceans obtained from the QuikSCAT/SeaWinds scatterometer on a 50 km swath grid. The complete data record from the Ku-band scatterometer SeaWinds on QuikSCAT (19 July 1999 - 21 November 2009) has been reprocessed using the Pencil Beam Wind Processor (PenWP). ERA5 re-analysis winds from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) have been used to initialise the ambiguity removal step in the wind processing and for validation and monitoring of the wind retrievals. The QuikSCAT level 1b data have been obtained from the NASA JPL Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC) web portal.
