QSCAT (Ku-2001) Ocean Winds Derived by Locally Weighted Regression Interpolation (Version 1e) 

This revision is Version 1e for QSCAT Ku-2001 ocean surface winds
derived using a locally weighted regression interpolation
method.  The region of influence (ROI) varies depending on
the quality of the resultant interpolation.  ROI of 3 and
5 degrees (latitude by longitude) have been used.  The
resultant grids are 0.5 degrees and 3 hour resolution.  The
coverage is for 40S to the 70S.


The QSCAT (Ku-2001) satellite data were provided by
Remote Sensing Systems.


Notice 07/28/2006: JPL PO.DAAC has
initiated reprocessing of all ADEOS-II and QuikSCAT data with
superior algorithms for retrievals in high wind speed and light
rain areas.  This reprocessing could effect this dataset. More
information is available at
JPL PO.DAAC.
