Level 2 and Level 3 Data For Version V1.2DR Now Available

[15-Feb-12] PO.DAAC has made available both Level 2 and Level 3 data for version V1.2DR of the Aquarius/SAC-D data set. The differences between V1.2DR and V1.2 result from the change of correction technique for radiometer calibration drift. For V1.2DR, the brightness temperature corrections are computed using the noise-diode deflection ratios derived from the instrument data alone, and the ancillary data were only used to train the coefficients in the deflection-ratio based correction model initially.

The Aquarius/SAC-D mission is a collaboration between NASA and Argentina's space agency, Comisión Nacional de Actividades Espaciales (CONAE). Communication, public engagement and web content for Aquarius is provided by the University of Maine. The Aquarius mission is supported by the NASA Science Mission Directorate and additional information on the Aquarius mission is available here. Click here for privacy policy and important notices.
