Boulder, Colorado USA: National Snow and Ice Data Center. Digital media.Notice to Data Users:
The documentation for this data set was provided solely by the Principal Investigator(s) and was not further developed, thoroughly reviewed, or edited by NSIDC. Thus, support for this data set may be limited.
This data set contains the following spatially and temporally co-registered data: Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) brightness temperatures for all channels; Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) backscattering coefficients; and World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ground observations acquired from more than two thousand stations. There is a large, increasing interest in the potential arising from the combination of active and passive microwave data for the extraction of geophysical parameters from spaceborne platforms. Often, one of the major obstacles is the generation of spatially and temporally co-registered data sets for testing hypotheses, validating models, and developing retrieval approaches. The temporal coverage of this data set spans from 01 January 2002 through 19 March 2009 with AMSR-E data included for the 19 June 2002 through 19 March 2009 time period. The volume of the data set is approximately two gigabytes. Data are provided in tab-delimited ASCII text files and are available via FTP.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://nsidc.org/sites/default/files/nsidc0450.pdfCo-Registered AMSR-E, QuikSCAT, and WMO Data, Version 1 User GuideGET DATAhttps://daacdata.apps.nsidc.org/pub/DATASETS/nsidc0450_AMSRE_QuikSCAT_WMO_v01/HTTPSPROJECT HOME PAGEhttp://nsidc.org/data/amsr_validation/index.htmlAMSR-E Validation DataPROJECT HOME PAGEhttp://nsidc.org/data/amsr/index.htmlAMSR-E/Aqua DataCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 9.92010-03-012026-01-22NSIDCVersion SummaryInitial releaseNSIDCMinor VersionNSIDCCurrent Version1NSIDCLevel of ServiceBasicNSIDCFull Dataset CitationTedesco, M. & Miller, J.
