Source: These data were submitted for archive to NCEI from the Center for
Satellite Applications and Research (STAR), NOAA, as part of the
oceanographic products from SAR-wind.

Actions: Data were uploaded by STAR to the Data Distribution System (DDS);
NCEI downloaded the data and MD5 fixity information files from the DDS. 
The data files were validated against the MD5 fixity information. An archival
information package (NCEI Accession) was generated and the netCDF and 
GeoTiFF files were copied to the data/0-data/ directory. A sample browse 
graphic for the Sea Surface wind data provided by the producer is copied 
to the about/ directory.

Files:

about/ 
This directory contains files created by NCEI staff, including 'negotiable'
information between NCEI staff and the data provider.

This directory contains the data files as submitted to NCEI, including both
graphics and NetCDF data files.

1. NetCDF data files:
RSAT2_<processing center>_<YYYY_MM_DD>_<HH_MM_SS>_<JULIAN SECONDS>_<LON><H>_<LAT><I>_<POLARIZATION>_C5_GFS05CDF_wind_level2_norcs.nc -
  Sea Surface wind data set from RADARSAT-2 in netCDF format at a given location.

File name convention uses "_" as delimiters and the first element is an
abbreviated version of the SAR sensor/satellite. RSAT2=Radarsat-2;
<processing center>=the name of the processing center as included in the
original data (CAIN, GSS or KSAT); <YYYY_MM_DD>=Numeric Year-Month-Day of
center of data acquisition in UTC; <HH_MM_SS>=Numeric Hour-Minute-Second
of center of data acquisition in UTC; <JULIAN SECONDS>=Ten-digit Julian
second of center of data acquisition. Seconds are referenced with respect
to January 1, 2000 00:00:00 UTC; <LON>=Longitude in degrees; <H>=Hemisphere
of Longitude, E or W; <LAT>=Latitude in degrees; <I>=Hemisphere of Latitude,
S or N; <POLARIZATION>=HH, VV, HV, or VH; C5=The first letter represents the
SAR frequency, L-band, C-band, or X-band. The digit(s) represent which
geophysical model function (GMF) was used for the wind retrieval.The default
value is 0; GFS05CDF=Directory name with the winds directions used for retrieval
(spaces and underscores removed); wind=Data type; level2=Data level; norcs =
normalized radar cross section; '.nc' represents the file is in netCDF format.

2. GeoTIFF files:
RSAT2_<processing center>_<YYYY_MM_DD>_<HH_MM_SS>_<JULIAN SECONDS>_<LON><H>_<LAT><I>_<POLARIZATION>_C5_GFS05CDF_wind.tiff -
  Sea Surface wind data set from RADARSAT-2 in GeoTIFF format at a given location.

File naming convention uses "_" as delimiters and the first element is an
abbreviated version of the SAR sensor/satellite. RSAT2=Radarsat-2; <processing
center>=the name of the processing center as included in the original data
(CAIN, GSS or KSAT); <YYYY_MM_DD>=Numeric Year-Month-Day of center of data
acquisition in UTC; <HH_MM_SS>=Numeric Hour-Minute-Second of center of data
acquisition in UTC; <JULIAN SECONDS>=Ten-digit Julian second of center of
data acquisition. Seconds are referenced with respect to January 1, 2000
00:00:00 UTC; <LON>=Longitude in degrees; <H>=Hemisphere of Longitude, E
or W; <LAT>=Latitude in degrees; <I>=Hemisphere of Latitude, S or N;
<POLARIZATION>=HH, VV, HV, or VH; C5=The first letter represents the SAR
frequency, L-band, C-band, or X-band. The digit(s) represent which geophysical
model function (GMF) was used for the wind retrieval. The default value is 0;
GFS05CDF=Directory name with the winds directions used for retrieval (spaces
and underscores removed); wind=Data type; '.tiff' represents the file is in
GeoTiff format.
