    • Wind, QuikSCAT SeaWinds, 0.125°, Global, Science Quality, 1999-2009 (1 Day), Lon+/-180

    Metadata Updated: June 10, 2023

    Remote Sensing Inc. distributes science quality wind velocity data from the SeaWinds instrument onboard NASA's QuikSCAT satellite. SeaWinds is a microwave scatterometer designed to measure surface winds over the global ocean. Wind velocity fields are provided in zonal, meridional, and modulus sets. The reference height for all wind velocities is 10 meters. (This is a 1 day composite.)
