CYGNSS Level 3 Science Data Record Version 1.0

(CYGNSS_L3_V1.0)
DOI
Short NameCYGNSS_L3_V1.0
DescriptionThis dataset contains the CYGNSS Level 3 Science Data Record which provides the average wind speed and mean square slope (MSS) on a 0.2x0.2 degree latitude by longitude equirectangular grid. A subset of DDM data used in the direct processing of the average wind speed and MSS is co-located inside of the Level 2 data files. The DDMs are obtained from the Delay Doppler Mapping Instrument aboard the CYGNSS satellite constellation. 24 netCDF data files are provided each day with an approximate 6 day latency. This dataset has been retired in favor of a newer version called CYGNSS_L3_V1.1.
