Wind, Metop-A ASCAT, 0.25°, Global, Near Real Time, 2009-present (3 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 3 day composite.)

NOAA CoastWatch 分发源自EUMETSAT Metop-A卫星上ASCAT仪器测量的近实时风速数据。ASCAT是一款微波散射计，旨在测量全球海洋表面的风速。风速数据经过NOAA CoastWatch处理后转换为风速散度。此数据集为三天合成数据。
