The data has been calibrated against NDBC buoy data and validated with independent buoy measurements and at cross-over points with other scatterometer and altimeter missions. The performance of the scatterometers at high wind speeds was examined against buoy and platform measurements. Where necessary, corrections were applied to ensure scatterometer data agreed with the insitu wind speed for high wind speeds. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[-180.0, -80.0], [180.0, -80.0], [180.0, 80.0], [-180.0, 80.0], [-180.0, -80.0]]]} -180.0 180.0 -80.0 80.0 Global / Oceans | World Oceans | Ocean Winds | Surface Winds Website of the IMOS Surface Waves Sub-Facility documentDigital HTML Link to article on calibration - Young et al. 2017 documentDigital HTML Link to article on calibration - Ribal and Young 2020 documentDigital HTML NetCDF files via THREDDS catalog documentDigital HTML Files via Amazon Web Services S3 storage documentDigital HTML View and download data though the AODN Portal documentDigital HTML imos:srs_surface_waves_scatterometry_map documentDigital Scatterometer wind WMS srs_surface_waves_scatterometry_map#file_url documentDigital The ncUrlList is a WFS service that returns a list of URLs matching a query.
