title: "Scatterometer Climatology of Ocean Winds (SCOW)" author: "Craig Risien (crisien@coas.oregonstate.edu)" institution: "Oregon State University, College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences" date_created: "2010-01-20" 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 fields 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." history: "From the updated Risien and Chelton 2008 SCOW climatology."
