A Near‐Real‐Time Version of the Cross‐Calibrated Multiplatform (CCMP) Ocean Surface Wind Velocity Data Set Open
The Cross‐Calibrated Multiplatform (CCMP) ocean surface wind data set was originally developed by Atlas and coworkers to blend cross‐calibrated satellite winds, in situ data, and wind analyses from numerical weather prediction. CCMP uses a…

Construction and Uncertainty Estimation of a Satellite‐Derived Total Precipitable Water Data Record Over the World's Oceans Open
Measurements of total precipitable water (TPW) from 11 satellite‐borne microwave imaging radiometers are intercalibrated and merged into a single gridded monthly data set starting in January 1988 and continuing to the present. The resultin…
