Wind Diffusivity Current, QuikSCAT SeaWinds, 0.125°, Global, Science Quality, 1999-2009 (14 Day), Lon+/-180

NOAA CoastWatch distributes science quality Ekman current (in zonal, meridional, and modulus sets) and Ekman upwelling data. This data begins with wind velocity measurements from the SeaWinds instrument onboard NASA's QuikSCAT satellite. SeaWinds 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, and finally to Ekman current and Ekman upwelling. (This is a 14 day composite.)

美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）海岸监视部门分发具有科学质量的标准Ekman洋流（包括纬向、经向和模量数据集）以及Ekman上升流数据。该数据集始于美国国家航空航天局（NASA）快速散射计（QuikSCAT）卫星上SeaWinds仪器的风速测量。SeaWinds是一种微波散射计，旨在测量全球海洋表面的风速。NOAA海岸监视部门对风速进行加工，转换为风应力及其旋度，最终生成Ekman洋流和Ekman上升流数据。（此数据集为14天合成。）
