This instrument uses radar to measure backscatter for determining wind speed/direction over the surface of the ocean and to detect sea ice. The ASCAT Level-1b product consists of geo-located radar backscatter values from six ASCAT beams at 25 km and 50 km resolution. These data are used by NOAA’s National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) to produce NOAA Unique Level-2 surface wind products. This Level-1b product is produced by the European Organization for Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) and distributed by NOAA's Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) in the EPS Native Format. Note: this is the original operational version of the ASCAT L1b product. A reprocessed version of this product may be available through EUMETSAT. onGoing NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact continual Earth Science > Spectral/Engineering > Radar > Radar Backscatter theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords 2018-03-15 revision Version 8.6 Geographic Region > Global place Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords 2018-03-15 revision Version 8.6 Vertical Location > Troposphere stratum Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Vertical Location Keywords 2018-03-15 revision Version 8.6 NOAA OneStop Project > project Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Project Keywords 2018-03-15 revision Version 8.6 ASCAT > Advanced Scatterometer instrument Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Instrument Keywords 2018-03-15 revision Version 8.6 Earth Observation Satellites > METOP > METOP-A > Meteorological Operational Satellite - A Earth Observation Satellites > METOP > METOP-B > Meteorological Operational Satellite - B Earth Observation Satellites > METOP > METOP-C > Meteorological Operational Satellite - C platform Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Platform Keywords 2018-03-15 revision Version 8.6 gov.noaa.class:ASCAT other Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Other Keywords 2018-03-15 revision Version 8.6 otherRestrictions Cite as: EUMETSAT (2007).
