The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: |
Monthly and 3-day mean Level-3 satellite Sea Surface Salinity created by National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) from the European Space Agency Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission in support of the NCEI level-2 data quality monitoring from 2010-06-01 to 2017-05-09 (NCEI Accession 0151732) |
| Abstract: |
Aiming for near-real-time data-quality monitoring of the satellite sea surface salinity (SSS) Level-2 products, the satellite oceanography team of NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) has generated 1.0-degree Level-3 gridded experimental products from the European Space Agency (ESA) Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission. The datasets are comprised of monthly and 3-day mean and generated directly from SMOS V6.22 Level-2 products. The Level-2 swath data is interpolated onto a 1.0-degree grid using equal-weighted box (“bin”) averaging. |
