The data system of the spaceborne eight-beam NASA scatterometer for measuring ocean backscatter is a nonreal-time ground-based science data processing system which inputs backscatter telemetry, processes the data into wind vectors, and archives and distributes the wind vector data and other products. Special attention is given to changes to the baseline design intended to meet new requirements for the data granularity, the data needs of the science team receiving the data, and the telemetry data source.
The design of the N-ROSS scatterometer data system and the development of key processing algorithms are described. The data products and parts of the data system to be directly validated are listed. The main features of the Data Management Subsystem, which delivers data to science users and supports system validation are outlined.
