Oceansat-2 25 km winds Release 2 - Reprocessed
Description
Reprocessed stress-equivalent 10m winds over the global oceans obtained from the Oceansat-2/OSCAT scatterometer on a 25 km swath grid. The complete data record from the Ku-band scatterometer OSCAT on Oceansat-2 (15 December 2009 - 20 February 2014) 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. ISRO has provided the near-real time Oceansat-2 level 1b data which were used as input for the OSI SAF wind products. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has kindly provided their archived OSCAT data record to the OSI SAF.
