Global Extreme Wind Radiometer Level 2 Dataset for SMOS WIND Project

“SMOS Near Real Time Level 2 swath wind speed” (SMOS L2WS NRT) products, which are SMOS retrieved surface wind speed gridded maps with a spatial sampling of 1/4°x 1/4° and consisting of orbital segments (containing parts of ascending and descending half orbits) following the granularity of the SMOS Level 1B near real time (NRT) data products.

SMOS L2WS NRT products are available within 4 to 6 hours from sensing and are generated in NetCDF-4 format as described in the "SMOS Wind Data Service Product Description Document" (http://www.smosstorm.org/Document-tools/SMOS-Wind-Data-Service-Documentation).
