Adapting the NSCAT data system to changing requirementsThe data system of the spaceborne eight-beam NASA scatterometer for measuring ocean backscatter is a nonreal-time ground-based science data processing system which inputs backscatter telemetry, processes the data into wind vectors, and archives and distributes the wind vector data and other products. Special attention is given to changes to the baseline design intended to meet new requirements for the data granularity, the data needs of the science team receiving the data, and the telemetry data source.
