First Public Release (V10.0) of Microwave Brightness Temperatures, Ocean Wind Vectors, and Atmospheric Water Products from the COWVR-TEMPEST STP-H8 Project

The PO.DAAC is pleased to announce the first public release of the COWVR-TEMPEST Temperature Sensor Data Records (TSDRs) and Environmental Data Record (EDR), produced by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The COWVR (Compact Ocean Wind Vector Radiometer) and TEMPEST (Temporal Experiment for Storms and Tropical Systems) instruments are passive microwave radiometers installed on the International Space Station as part of the Space Test Program - Houston 8 (STP-H8) technology demonstration mission. The project aims to demonstrate a lower-cost, lighter-weight sensor architecture for providing microwave data, with the primary objective of ocean surface vector wind products and tropical cyclone intensity tracking for the Department of Defense.
