***************************************************************** Journal for accession number: 0303220 Created on: 2025-04-05 12:12:37 UTC By: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Source: These data were submitted for the archive to NCEI from the NOAA Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR). Actions: NCEI downloaded the data and SHA-384 fixity information files from the NOAA Production Distribution and Access (PDA) service. The data files were validated using accompanying SHA-384 fixity information. An archival information package (NCEI Accession) was generated and the data files were copied to the data/0-data/ directory. A sample browse graphic for the data was 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. 0303220_preview.png - Sample of a regional map for Level-2 Sea Surface Wind from RCM data. data/0-data/ This directory contains the data files as submitted to NCEI. File name convention: SAR-Wind--- _vMrN__syyyymmddHHMMSSt_eyyyymmddHHMMSSt_cyyyymmddHHMMSSt.nc|tif Where: SAR = Synthetic Aperture Radar Wind = Level-2 Sea Surface Winds data PP = transmit and receive polarization (HH, VV, HV, VH) LAT = 2-digit latitude value + N or S (North or South, respectively) LON = 3-digit longitude value + E or W (East or West, respectively) Version = vMrN, currently v2r0 SAT_ID = rcm1, rcm2, or rcm3 syyyymmddHHMMSSt = beginning observation date/time eyyyymmddHHMMSSt = ending observation date/time cyyyymmddHHMMSSt = data file creation date/time "yyyy" = 4-digit year "mm" = 2-digit month (01-12) "dd" = 2-digit day of the month (01-31) "HH" = hour (00-23) "MM" = minute (00-59) "SS" = second (00-59) "t" = tenths of a second Format: nc = netCDF format; tif = GeoTIFF format. for example: SAR-Wind-VV-70N-159W_v2r0_rcm1_s202206281716270_e202206281716560_c202206282157449.nc SAR-Wind-VV-70N-159W_v2r0_rcm1_s202206281716270_e202206281716560_c202206282157449.tif
