NASA's Aquarius Microwave Radiometers & Scatterometer
Data

The following table includes the official Aquarius mission data currently available from NSIDC DAAC. These data products have been produced and validated by the Aquarius Science Team.  You may also be interested in this related data product archived at the NASA PO DAAC Aquarius Sea Surface Salinity and Wind Speed Data at NASA Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center (PO.DAAC)

Note: Due to a power failure on the Satélite de Aplicaciones Científicas (SAC-D) platform on 08 June 2015, data from NASA's Aquarius instrument are no longer being produced. For more information on this event, please refer to the official NASA announcement. The NSIDC DAAC will continue to distribute Aquarius soil moisture and polar-gridded data sets for the full duration of the mission, 25 August 2011 to 07 June 2015.
