abstract: This data set consists of high resolution sea surface winds data produced from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) on-board RADARSAT-2 satellite. This product utilizes the CoastWatch product format. The basic archive file is a NetCDF4 file containing SAR wind, a land mask, and time and earth location information. Also archived will be maps of the SAR wind in GeoTIFF format. The product covers the geographic extent of the SAR image frame from which it was derived.
purpose: This dataset is available to the public for a wide variety of uses including scientific research and analysis.

supplementalInformation: Individual SAR images with wind data at a resolution of 0.5 km are obtained from Alaska waters and the North Pacific covering the region: 179.0E to -179.0W, 75.0N to 40.0N. Some coverage has been obtained over Hawaii, the coasts of Maryland, Delaware, and the northern gulf of Mexico. SAR products support the following mission/projects: Weather and Water, Ecosystems, Commerce and Transportation, hazard monitoring and response, CoastWatch, the National Ice Center, the Office of Response and Restoration Emergency Response Division, and other NOAA offices.

description: Synthetic Aperture Radar Synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) is a form of radar which is used to create images of an object, such as a landscape – these images can be 2D or 3D representations of the object. SAR uses the motion of the SAR antenna over a target region to provide finer spatial resolution than is possible with conventional beam-scanning radars. The distance the SAR device travels over a target creates a large "synthetic" antenna aperture (the "size" of the antenna). As a rule of thumb one can assume that the larger the aperture is, the higher the image resolution becomes, regardless whether physical aperture or synthetic aperture – this allows SAR to create high resolution images with comparatively small physical antennas.Many satellites have SAR imagery capabilities using different microwave bands (L,C,S,X etc.).

description: Name *: RADARSAT-2 Country: Canada Platform Class *: 65-Orbiting satellite Operations/Responsible organization:MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA) Previous Name: N/A Launched Date: 2007-12-14 Commissioned Date: 2008-04-25 Decommissioned Date: Current Length (m): 3.7; width (m): 1.36 Notes +: RADARSAT-2, the second in a series of Canadian spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites, was built by MacDonald Dettwiler, Richmond, Canada and jointly funded by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and MDA. It is a single-sensor C-band (5.405 GHz) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) with multiple polrization modes, including a fully polarimetric mode in which HH, HV, VV and VH polarized data are acquired. It's highest resolution is 1 m in Spotlight mode (3 m in Ultra Fine mode) with 100 m positional accuracy requirement. In ScanSAR Wide Beam mode the SAR has a nominal swath width of 500 km and an imaging resolution of 100 m.
