#### Description

The Ocean Near-Surface Atmospheric Properties dataset is part of the NOAA
Ocean Surface Bundle (OSB) and provides a high quality Climate Data Record
(CDR) of air temperature, wind speed, and specific humidity over ice-free
ocean surfaces.

These atmospheric properties are calculated based on brightness temperature
data from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and the Special Sensor
Microwave/Imager Sounder (SSMIS) on the Defense Meteorological Satellite
Program (DMSP) spacecraft, using a neural network.

### Terms of Use

**Terms of Use**

The NOAA CDR Program's official distribution point for CDRs is NOAA's
National Climatic Data Center which provides sustained, open access and
active data management of the CDR packages and related information in
keeping with the United States' open data policies and practices as
described in the President's Memorandum on "Open Data Policy" and pursuant
to the Executive Order of May 9, 2013, "Making Open and Machine Readable
the New Default for Government Information". In line with these policies,
the CDR data sets are nonproprietary, publicly available, and no
restrictions are placed upon their use. For more information, see the
