ADEOS Scatterometer Winds, Level 2B

d744007
 

This historical dataset is recommended for ancillary use only and not as a primary research dataset. It has likely been superseded by a newer, improved dataset.

Abstract:

Sea surface wind estimated by scatterometer instruments on the ADEOS satellite.

JPL PO.DAAC has initiated reprocessing of all ADEOS and QuikSCAT data with superior algorithms for retrievals in high wind speed and light rain areas. This reprocessing could affect this dataset.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
