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

The RSS SSMIS Ocean Product Grids Monthly 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 monthly average.

DMSP F17 网格化月度平均海洋产品 RSS SSMIS 数据集隶属于美国宇航局 MEaSUREs 项目下生产的特殊传感器微波成像仪（SSM/I）和特殊传感器微波成像仪辐射计（SSMIS）数据产品系列。遥感系统利用一种统一且基于物理的算法生成 SSM/I 和 SSMIS 二进制数据产品，该算法可同时获取海洋风速、水汽、云水和降雨率。SSMIS 数据经过精心校准，与先前 SSM/I 的亮度温度级别相匹配，从而扩展了海洋风速、水汽、云和降雨等重要时间序列值。此算法为20年持续优化、改进和验证的成果。全球水文学资源中心已将二进制数据格式化为每个卫星每个时间组的 netCDF 数据产品。SSMI/SSMIS 数据集将提供 F17 的月度平均值。
