Wind, All Metop ASCAT, 0.25°, Global, Near Real Time, 2013-present, Divergence and Modulus (3 Day)

NOAA CoastWatch distributes near real time divergence and modulus wind data originating with wind velocity measurements from the ASCAT instruments onboard all EUMETSAT's MetOp satellites. 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 3 day composite.)

NOAA CoastWatch 机构分发源自EUMETSAT MetOp系列卫星上ASCAT仪器测量的近实时风向散度和模量风速数据。ASCAT是一款微波散射计，旨在测量全球海洋表面的风速。风速数据经NOAA CoastWatch处理为风向散度。（此为连续3日数据合成。）
