Metop-A ASCAT L2 12.5 km winds data record

Released Climate product

Reprocessed Metop-A ASCAT L2 12.5 km winds (coastal winds) Data Records created in 2016 and covering the first part of Metop-A mission from January 2007 until December 2014 (a second release of this product will cover the full mission history). Scatterometer data have been collocated with ECMWF ERA-Interim winds.
