Business Travel News: The Winds Resort Beach Club Neighborhood & Local Information
Surface winds refer to the wind speed and direction measured from the surface of Earth’s land or ocean. By studying these winds, scientists can learn more about ocean processes and improve predictions of extreme weather. NASA’s available data products useful to the study of surface winds include average wind speed and direction, sea level pressure, and surface stress.
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 antenna, which provides pencil-beam radar backscatter measurements. SeaWinds provided all-weather ocean surface wind vector measurements over Earth's ice-free global oceans. The instrument was designed to improve ...
The Winds instrument was available for flights in year 2015 only. The measurements included in this data set are most useful when paired with the scientific data collected by other CARVE airborne instruments.
The Cross-Calibrated Mul7-PlaXorm (CCMP) Ocean vector wind analysis is a level-4 product that uses a varia7onal method to combine satellite retrievals of ocean winds with a background wind field from a numerical weather predicon (NWP) model. The result is a spaally complete esmate of global ocean vector winds on six-hour intervals that are closely ed to satellite measurements. For CCMP 3.1 ...
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 Systems (RSS). CCMP is a combination of inter-calibrated 10 m ocean surface wind retrievals from multiple types of satellite microwave sensors and a background field from reanalysis. The wind ...
