The Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) Ocean Surface Wind Components time series has been extended through 31 December 2011. This data extends the CCMP climate data record (CDR) by 6 months, for a total of 24.5 years, starting from 1 July 1987.
The AMSR-E data used in the CCMP analysis has been upgraded by REMSS from version 5 to version 7. For more details on this upgrade, please visit: http://www.ssmi.com/amsr/amsr_data_description.html. This upgrade is effective in the CCMP analysis from 1 January 2011 through 4 October 2011, the latter date representing the time in which the AMSR-E antenna permanently ceased rotation. As a result of the antenna rotation failure, there will be no additional AMSR-E data available for the CCMP analysis.
In total, 13 CCMP datasets are available. To learn more and access the CCMP datasets, please visit our web portal: http://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/datasetlist?ids=Collections&values=Cross-Calibrated+Multi-Platform+Ocean+Surface+Wind+Vector+Analysis+Fields&search=
