Data Products
Click on the thumbnails below each product title to view larger images and descriptions. These are just a few examples of Arctic, Antarctic, and global scatterometry images from each data product. They do not necessarily represent the complete set of regions and images available from each product.
Data Products Available from NSIDC
NSIDC provides sea ice extent for the Arctic and Antarctic, produced from daily-averaged QuikSCAT sigma-0 measurements.
Data Products Available from PO.DAAC [top]
PO.DAAC provides conventional and enhanced-resolution radar backscatter images of the polar regions from SASS, ERS-1/2, NSCAT, QuickSCAT and SeaWinds.
Data Products Available from BYU [top]
BYU provides enhanced-resolution images and derived products.
Data Products Available from JPL [top]
JPL Ocean Winds Data Catalog provides access to JPL scatterometer data products.
Data Products Available from NOAA [top]
Ocean Surface Winds Derived from the SeaWinds Scatterometer provides access to Paul Chang's NOAA Near-Real-Time Products page with QuikSCAT Near-Real-Time (NRT) wind, backscatter, and ice products.
