RSS SSMIS OCEAN PRODUCT GRIDS WEEKLY AVERAGE FROM DMSP F17 NETCDF V7

The RSS SSMIS Ocean Product Grids Weekly Average from DMSP F17 netCDF dataset is part of the collection of Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder (SSMIS) data products produced as part of NASA's MEaSUREs Program. Remote Sensing Systems generates SSM/I and SSMIS binary data products using a unified, physically based algorithm to simultaneously retrieve ocean wind speed, water vapor, cloud water, and rain rate. The SSMIS data have been carefully intercalibrated to the brightness temperature level of the previous SSM/I and therefore extend this important time series of ocean winds, vapor, cloud and rain values. This algorithm is a product of 20 years of refinements, improvements, and verifications. The Global Hydrology Resource Center has reformatted the binary data into a netCDF data product for each temporal group for each satellite. The netCDF SSMI/SSMIS collection will be available for F17 for a weekly average.

DMSP F17卫星搭载的Special Sensor Microwave/Imager（SSM/I）与Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder（SSMIS）数据产品系列中，RSS SSMIS海洋产品网格周平均数据集占据一席之地。该系列数据产品为NASA MEaSUREs计划的一部分，由遥感系统公司通过一套统一且基于物理原理的算法生成，能够同时获取海洋风速、水汽、云水含量以及降雨率。SSMIS数据经过精心校准，与先前的SSM/I的亮度温度级别相匹配，从而扩展了这一重要的海洋风速、水汽、云和降雨值的时间序列。此算法是20年不断优化、改进和验证的成果。全球水文资源中心将该二进制数据重新格式化为netCDF数据产品，针对每个卫星的每个时间组进行了处理。netCDF格式的SSMI/SSMIS数据集将为F17提供每周的平均数据。
