DATASET OVERVIEW

Description(s)

Abstract

This dataset contains cloud motion vector data acquired by the automated cloud tracking from images of the UVI and IR2 instruments of the Venus Climate Orbiter (VCO, also known as PLANET-C and AKATSUKI) spacecraft. This dataset consists of NetCDF files. This dataset is produced from the longitude-latitude map datasets.

Resource Type
