Wind stress is defined as the tangential (drag) force per unit area exerted on the surface of the ocean by the adjacent layer of moving air. Wind stress is the most important forcing parameter in the upper ocean circulation. OSCAT Daily Wind Stress Composites have been generated using DIVA generated daily wind field composites. For wind stress computation, Large and Pond (1981) drag coefficients, modified by Trenberth et al. 1990, are used. These products are available on daily basis. The output products consist of zonal and meridional wind stress components. Further details have been provided in the technical document.

Vegetation Fraction (VF) is defined as the percentage or fraction of occupation of vegetation canopy in a given ground area in vertical projection. It is popularly treated as a comprehensive quantitative index in forest management and vegetation communities to monitor respective land cover conditions. This data is derived from Oceansat-2 OCM which operates in eight spectral bands in VNIR bands with 1Km spatial resolution and swath of 1420 kms.

Surface winds over oceans are required for several operational, oceanographic, atmospheric and climatological studies. OSCAT Daily Wind Composites have been generated by interpolating OSCAT level-2B wind fields using Variational Inverse Method (VIM) inbuilt in Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis (DIVA) software. These products will have their utility in daily weather and modeling activities. The output products consist of zonal and meridional wind components with their respective error fields as computed by DIVA. Further details have been provided in the technical document.

Albedo is a key parameter that is widely used in land- surface energy balance studies, mid- to long-term weather prediction and global climate change in estigation. Surface albedo is the ratio of upwelling radiant energy relative to the down-welling irradiance incident upon a surface. This data is a value added product which is derived from Oceansat-2 OCM which operates in eight spectral bands in VNIR bands with 1Km spatial resolution and swath of 1420 kms.
