NASAs atmospheric wind data provide measurements to profile the force of air moving over land, water, and high into the sky. Surface winds refer to the wind speed and direction measured from the surface of Earths land or ocean. By studying these winds, scientists can learn more about ocean processes and. The SeaWinds instrument, which flew on NASA's Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite and NASA/JAXA's ADEOS-II, was a A Ku-band (13.4 GHz) scatterometer featuring a circular dish. This data set contains a 6-hourly, 0.25 degree resolution, near-global gridded analysis of ocean surface vector winds from the Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform (CCMP) project, produced by Remote Sensing.
