The Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC DAAC), a NASA Earth science data center managed by the University of Alabama in Huntsville, is pleased to announce the release of the version 7 SSMI/SSMIS F08, F10, F11, F13, F14, F15, F16, F17 Ocean Product Suite from Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) in netCDF (v4) format. These data are generated by the Distributed Information Services for Climate and Ocean Products and Visualizations for Earth Research project, (DISCOVER), PI Frank Wentz, as part of the NASA Making Earth Science Data Records for Use in Research Environments (MEaSUREs) Program.
The RSS Ocean Product Suite includes the following data products for the SSMI/SSMIS instruments on the DMSP F08, F10, F11, F13, F14, F15, F16, F17 polar orbiting satellites:
RSS SSM/I Ocean Products Grids Daily
RSS SSM/I Ocean Products Grids 3-Day Average
RSS SSM/I Ocean Products Grids Weekly Average
RSS SSM/I Ocean Products Grids Monthly Average
Detailed information for these datasets is available in the SSMI and SSMIS netCDF Data Products document.
These data sets can be ordered from the GHRC using the Hydrologic Data search, Retrieval, and Order system (HyDRO) at http://ghrc.nsstc.nasa.gov/hydro/.
