Wind Stress, Metop-B ASCAT, 0.25°, Global, Near Real Time, 2013-present (14 Day), Lon+/-180

NOAA CoastWatch distributes science quality wind stress data in zonal, meridional, modulus, and wind stress curl sets. This data begins with wind velocity measurements from the ASCAT instrument onboard EUMETSAT's Metop-B satellite. ASCAT is a microwave scatterometer designed to measure surface winds over the global ocean. NOAA CoastWatch processes wind velocity to wind stress and wind stress curl. (This is a 14 day composite.)

NOAA CoastWatch分布式科学级风应力数据，包括经向、纬向、模量和风应力旋度数据集。该数据集的起始点为来自EUMETSAT Metop-B卫星上ASCAT仪器测量的风速数据。ASCAT是一种微波散射计，旨在测量全球海洋表面的风速。NOAA CoastWatch对风速数据进行处理，将其转换为风应力和风应力旋度。（此为14天合成数据。）
