attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String This file contains a composite of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Normalized Radar Cross Section (NRCS) images covering the Arctic for a period of one day. The files are produced in SAROPS (SAR Operational Product System) by the Water Surface Conditions/Sea Surface Roughness group within the NOAA STAR Satellite Oceanography and Climatology Division. Data from the following C-Band SAR systems are included: Sentinel-1A/B, RADARSAT-2, and RADARSAT Constellation Mission. NRCS values have been calibrated with values given by the SAR data provider. Daily coverage may vary due to limitations in data availability.
