| comments: | "The original SCOW climatology (Risien and Chelton 2008) was derived from 96 QuikSCAT monthly maps (September 1999 - August 2007). This NetCDF file contains updated SCOW regression coefficients that are derived from 122 QuikSCAT monthly maps (September 1999 - October 2009). The methods used to produce this climatology are described in Risien and Chelton 2008." |
