NOAA CDR: Ocean Near-Surface Atmospheric Properties, Version 2

The Ocean Near-Surface Atmospheric Properties dataset is part of the NOAA Ocean Surface Bundle (OSB) and provides a high quality Climate Data Record (CDR) of air temperature, wind speed, and specific humidity over ice-free ocean surfaces. These atmospheric properties are calculated based on brightness temperature data from the Special Sensor …
