The data is from a NASA scatterometer ( CQ ) built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and launched aboard a Japanese weather satellite last year.

Oceansat-2 will carry two payloads for ocean related studies, namely, Ocean Colour Monitor ( OCM ) and Ku-band Pencil Beam Scatterometer.

On the other hand, the optical scatterometer-based metrology is a non-invasive technique and has very high throughput due to its larger spot size.
25.
The scatterometer was launched as external cargo aboard the SpaceX CRS-4 mission on 21 September 2014, attached to the unpressurized section of the Dragon capsule.

It became the first North Indian Ocean cyclone to be observed by scatterometer instruments, providing the data necessary to calibrate the device for minimizing directional ambiguity of its measurements.
27.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is part of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, had designed an advanced scatterometer called Sea Winds for a future mission.
