Sentences with phrase «scatterometer data»

Continuous scatterometer data series exist since 1991 and are processed into climate data records, providing links to the ESA CCI or ERA - CLIM.

Algorithms to process the three - beam scatterometer data have been developed at Institut Franais de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer (IFREMER).

Not exact matches

Raw data collected from altimeters have been re-processed and collated with wind speed data from scatterometers and sea level measurements from tide gauges, to show the spatial structure of each storm.

The latest results show that in the northern hemisphere and the tropics, the data from the scatterometer makes no difference to the accuracy of the weather forecasts.

The satellite data come from the European Remote Sensing satellite scatterometers (ERS - 1 and ERS - 2), NASA scatterometers (NSCAT and Seawinds onboard ADEOS - 1 and QuikScat respectively), and several defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) radiometers (Special Sensor Microwave / Imager [SSM / I] F10 - F15).

The team then extrapolated these data over the varying landscape to produce a seamless map, using NASA imagery from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on NASA's Terra spacecraft, the QuikScat scatterometer satellite and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission.

The researchers compared the GNSS - R satellite measurements with data from other sources, including tropical cyclone best track data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Centers for Environmental Information; two climate reanalysis products; and a spaceborne scatterometer, a tool that uses microwave radar to measure winds near the surface of the ocean.

The SeaWinds on QuikSCAT mission is a «quick recovery» mission to fill the gap created by the loss of data from the NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT), when the satellite it was flying on lost power in June 1997.

With MIS delayed until NPOESS C2, there is a need to continue the long (28 - year) climate data record of sea ice extent and concentration collected by passive microwave radiometers; continued scatterometer and altimeter measurements are also required.
