| Abstract | As a result of tests performed since ERS-1 launch, the scatterometer archive was reprocessed using improved algorithms at "Centre ERS d'Archivage et de Traitement" located in the "Institut Francais de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la MER". A model function based upon buoy and model wind data was developed and the Normalized Radar Cross Section (NRCS) observations are shown to fit well with this model function. Scatterometer winds are in good agreement with winds measured on NOAA buoys. Mean standard deviation is of the order of 1.2 m/s for wind speed and 15 degrees for wind direction with no biases. However, some limitations affect the data accuracy: (1) insufficient anisotropy of NRCS's at low incidence angles and low wind speeds results in an increase in the wind direction standard deviations for these conditions, (2) the same underestimation of very high wind speeds (above 20 m/s) as with the Seasat scatterometer is observed and causes are being analysed, (3) effects of the lack of correction for stratification and sea-state on the 10 m neutral wind vector estimate when inversing the scatterometer signals is shown by comparison with NOAA buoy data. Differences with the real-time data provided by the European Space Agency (ESA) are discussed in terms of wind accuracy and in terms of quality control, especially concerning dealiasing skill and sea-ice detection. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
