                <gco:CharacterString>Oceansat-3 Scatterometer Level-2 Ocean Surface Wind (OSCAT Winds) - The Oceansat-3 satellite, also known as Earth Observing Satellite 6 (EOS-6), is launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and is a follow-on mission to the Oceansat-2 and SCATSAT-1 missions. This data family contains global Level-2 (L2) data products from the Ku-band Scatterometer (OSCAT-3). The data products include the L2A Normalized Radar Cross Section at 12.5 km and 25 km resolution, and L2B Ocean Surface Wind Vectors at 12.5 km and 25 km resolution at sea level. The L2 data products were developed by the NESDIS Center for Satellite Applications and Research (STAR) Ocean Surface Winds Team (OSWT) and are produced by the NESDIS Office of Satellite and Product Operations (OSPO).</gco:CharacterString>
