| Abstract | The SeaWinds on QuikSCAT scatterometer (QSCAT) was developed by NASA JPL to measure the speed and direction of ocean surface winds. The accuracy of the majority of the swath, and the size of the swath are such that QSCAT meets its science requirements despite shortcomings at certain cross track positions. None the less, it was desirable to modify the baseline processing in order to improve the quality of the less accurate portions of the swath, in particular near the far swath and nadir. Two disparate problems have been identified for far swath and nadir. At far swath, ambiguity removal skill is degraded due to the absence of inner beam measurements, limited azimuth diversity, and boundary effects. Near nadir, due to nonoptimal measurement geometry, (measurement azimuths approximately 180/spl deg/ apart) there is a marked decrease in directional accuracy even when ambiguity removal works correctly. Two algorithms were developed, direction interval retrieval (DIR) to address the nadir performance issue, and thresholded nudging (TN) to improve ambiguity removal at far swath. The authors illustrate the impact of the two techniques by exhibiting post-launch statistical performance metrics with respect to European Center for Medium-range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) wind fields. |

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.
