S-MODE Shipboard Radiometer Measurements Version 1

Published by NASA/JPL/PODAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: January 31, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-01-27

This dataset contains shipboard radiometer measurements taken during the Sub-Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment (S-MODE) pilot campaign conducted approximately 300 km offshore of San Francisco over two weeks in October 2021. S-MODE aims to understand how ocean dynamics acting on short spatial scales influence the vertical exchange of physical and biological variables in the ocean. Air-Sea Interaction METeorology (ASIMET) sensors mounted onboard the R/V Oceanus record shortwave and longwave radiation fluxes. These are used by S-MODE to compare with DopplerScatt retrievals. Data are available in netCDF format.
