摘要

EOS-06 Scatterometer is a continuity mission of SCATSAT-1 and carries a Ku-band Scatterometer with a scanning pencil beam configuration. It deploys two beams, a vertically polarized outer beam and a horizontally polarized inner beam, to cover a swath of 1800 km. The mission mainly caters to ocean wind measurements for oceanographic applications and weather forecasting, with the data being extensively used for cyclogenesis predictions across the globe, specifically, the tropical regions. In order to ensure data quality and suitability for operational applications, the data products need to be extensively calibrated and validated. This paper discusses the generation, calibration, validation and retrieval aspects of EOS-06 Scatterometer data products carried out in the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
