Wind/Waves/RAD1 LESIA L3 DF Data Collection V01

Thursday 6 July 2023, by Baptiste Cecconi

This collection is composed of Wind/Waves/RAD1 daily L3 DF files.

A new version of this dataset is available at: https://doi.org/10.25935/hegh-1r24

This collection is part of the Wind/Waves LESIA Collection (TBD).

Link to data repository

The files are available from the LESIA/Wind data repository (link below). The repository file hierarchy and the link with the other LESIA/Wind collection are described in TBD.

  • This dataset is not available anymore. Use the new version instead.

Description

The data collection contains daily Level 3 goniopolarimetric CDF files, derived from the RAD1 Receiver of Wind/Waves dataset. This data collection has been produced following the goniopolarimetric Inversion described in X.Bonnin, S.Hoang and B.Cecconi (2022).

Content

The collection is composed of TBD CDF files (TBD GB) containing data as described in the table below.
