A year ago, on 27 October 2006, the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) on board Metop-A, Europe’s first operational polar-orbiting satellite launched eight days earlier, was switched on.
ASCAT is a radar which provides high-accuracy measurements of the ocean surface backscatter, which are used to retrieve ocean surface wind vectors. Scientists at EUMETSAT in Darmstadt, the EUMETSAT Ocean and Sea Ice Satellite Application Facility consortium, including the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), and in the ASCAT Science Advisory Group, are working closely to calibrate the instrument to tune the processing and to validate the products by monitoring natural targets, such as rain sfeadlw, pce hlb ejk awrlpc.
