THE ADVANCED SCATTEROMETER PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR ERS DATA: THIRTEEN YEARS OF OCEAN WINDS FROM SPACE

Since the launch of ERS-1 in 1991 and ERS-2 in 1995, carrying a C-band Scatterometer, a data set of more than thirteen years of backscattered signal from the Earth surface is available for exploitation. With its global coverage, day or night and all-weather operation, ERS Scatterometer data offer a...
