    CYGNSS Level 3 Science Data Record Version 3.2

    Metadata Updated: February 23, 2025

    This dataset contains the Version 3.2 CYGNSS Level 3 Science Data Record which provides the average wind speed and mean square slope (MSS) on a 0.2x0.2 degree latitude by longitude equirectangular grid obtained from the Delay Doppler Mapping Instrument aboard the CYGNSS satellite constellation. The Level 2 Delay Doppler Map (DDM) data are used in the direct processing of the average wind speed and MSS data that are binned on the Level 3 grid. A subset of DDM data used in the direct processing of the average wind speed and MSS is co-located inside of the Level 2 data files. A single netCDF-4 data file is produced for each day of operation with an approximate 6 day latency. This version supersedes Version 3.0; https://doi.org/10.5067/CYGNS-L3X30. The reported sample locations are determined by the specular points corresponding to the Delay Doppler Maps (DDMs). The Version 3.1 release inherits all improvements made to the version 3.1 Level 2 data intended to improve the quality of the wind speed retrievals. For a full list of improvements to the version 3.1 Level 2 data, please refer to: https://doi.org/10.5067/CYGNS-L2X31.
