Abstract
Although QuikSCAT was originally designed to measure winds at a resolution of 25km, higher resolution wind and rain products have been developed. The 2.5km ultra high resolution (UHR) products allow QuikSCAT data to be used for applications involving rain, meso-scale phenomena, and in coastal applications. This paper overviews and unifies the various UHR products and discusses their advantages and limitations as compared to each other and the conventional 25km product. Theory, consequences of assumptions, and trade-offs are also discussed.
