Wind, Metop-A ASCAT, 0.25°, Global, Near Real Time, 2009-present (14 Day)

NOAA CoastWatch distributes near real time wind data originating with wind velocity measurements from the ASCAT instrument onboard EUMETSAT's Metop-A satellite. ASCAT is a microwave scatterometer designed to measure surface winds over the global ocean. Wind velocity is processed to wind divergence by NOAA CoastWatch. (This is a 14 day composite.)

美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）海岸监视部门分布了源自欧洲中期天气预报中心（EUMETSAT）Metop-A卫星上ASCAT仪器测量的近实时风速数据。ASCAT是一种微波散射计，旨在测量全球海洋表面的风速。风速经过NOAA海岸监视部门处理后转换为风散度。（此为14天合成数据。）
