The PO.DAAC regrets to inform its users of the discontinuation of data
retrieval for its OSCAT Level 2B dataset produced by the QuikSCAT science
data systems team at JPL.
The OSCAT scatterometer onboard the Oceansat-2 spacecraft experienced failure
in its traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) toward the end of February 2014.
As a result, science data processing of ocean surface wind vector data has
permanently ceased. The last available file from the QuikSCAT science data
systems team provided to the PO.DAAC is effective for 20 February 2014
corresponding to orbital revolution 23370 ending at 2330 UTC. The data
retrieved over the course of the mission will remain available at the PO.DAAC
for continued public distribution.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was responsible for the design,
launch and operation of the OSCAT instrument and the Oceansat-2 spacecraft.
This announcement comes just before the completion of OSCAT’s five year
anniversary.
