Global 1x1 Degree Near Real Time Gridded Data
Daily fields of pseudo-stress are produced using a variational approach (direct minimization) with tuning parameters determined using Generalized
Cross-Validation (GCV). These products are on a 1x1 grid. The scatterometer winds, and these gridded winds, are calibrated to a height of 10 m.
This approach utilizes the only QuikSCAT wind observations from NOAA's near real time QSCAT vector winds, and filtered with a rain flag. The wind
field are a operational quality data set.
