The data derive from the global constellation of geostationary satellites (GOES, Meteosat, MS, and FY2 series) spanning 1987 through 2009. Passive microwave observations provide significant information content given that most clouds are transparent at microwave wavelengths. The HURSAT-MW data set is constructed in largely the same manner as HURSAT-B1. Each time a Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) satellite passes over a tropical cyclone, Special Sensing Microwave Imager (SSMI) data are mapped to an equal angle grid (fixed latitude/longitude) centered on the temporally interpolated storm location. HURSAT-MW provides brightness temperatures for all 7 SSMI channels. No product retrievals (e.g., rain rate, total column water vapor, ...) are provided in the data, but are possible (e.g., view the imagery derived from the data). The satellite data were then gridded to 8km, with grid centers fixed on the tropical cyclone center of circulation at 6-hour intervals. Data include hurricanes from the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean Basins. Data are provided in a convenient NetCDF format which is self-documenting and follows standard storage and metadata conventions. Version 5 supersedes all other versions. To provide a cohesive data set of historical tropical cyclone centered imagery for future analysis. completed NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Customer Engagement Branch +1 (828) 271-4800 ncdc.satorders@noaa.gov pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/C00856_HURSAT-MW-browse.png HURSAT-MW PNG Earth Science > Atmosphere > Weather Events > Tropical Cyclones Earth Science > Human Dimensions > Natural Hazards > Tropical Cyclones > Hurricanes Earth Science > Human Dimensions > Natural Hazards > Tropical Cyclones > Typhoons Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Anticyclones/Cyclones Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Pressure > Sea Level Pressure Earth Science > Atmosphere > Clouds Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Water Vapor Earth Science > Atmosphere > Atmospheric Winds Earth Science > Spectral/Engineering > Microwave > Brightness Temperature theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018 revision Version 8.6 Global Change Data Center, Science and Exploration Directorate, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://earthdata.nasa.gov/about/gcmd/global-change-master-directory-gcmd-keywords HTTPS Web Browser Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Keywords The information provided on this page seeks to define how the GCMD Keywords are structured, used and accessed.
