Surface Winds - NASA Earthdata 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
Atmospheric Winds - NASA Earthdata Discover and Visualize Atmospheric Winds Data NASA data help us understand Earth's changing systems in more detail than ever before, and visualizations bring these data to life, making Earth science concepts accessible, beautiful, and impactful Data visualization is a powerful tool for analysis, trend and pattern recognition, and communication
The Power of a Brazilian Wind - NASA Earthdata People often picture wind turbines rooted in waving fields of golden grass, but wind turbines can also stand among the waves of coastal waters Offshore wind offers more than just clean and economical energy; winds over the ocean can often be faster and fluctuate less than land-based winds, leading to higher and more sustained output Offshore wind sites tend to be naturally close to the large
Wind Speed | NASA Earthdata NASA data shows wind speed at the ocean and land surface as well as in vertical profiles through the atmosphere
Reckoning with Winds - NASA Earthdata Winds over the oceans are retrieved because the water's surface roughens rapidly with increasing wind speed, which increases the backscatter detected by this specialized radar instrument NSCAT scans two 600 km bands of the Earth -- one band on each side of the instrument's orbit path, separated by a gap of 330 km
CARVE: L1 Daily Flight Path and Winds Data, Alaska, 2015 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
Multisensor Worldwide Ocean Winds (MWOW) Product - Earthdata Background Observations of ocean surface winds are vital for marine navigation, predicting hurricanes and other oceanic storms, and science and modeling of the ocean-atmosphere interface The Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG)-2022 assessment found that providing gridded, harmonized winds near the ocean surface would help support the needs of several agencies The Multisensor Worldwide Ocean
Hurricanes - NASA Earthdata Hurricanes are one of the largest hazards to life and property on Earth Hurricanes are a rotating, tropical cyclone with a low pressure center (the eye) and 1-min average surface (10 m) winds in excess of 32 m s−1 (64 knots) in the Western Hemisphere This area encompasses the North Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and the eastern and central North Pacific east of the
SeaWinds - NASA Earthdata The SeaWinds instrument, which flew on NASA's Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) satellite and NASA JAXA's ADEOS-II, was a specialized microwave radar that measured near-surface wind velocity and cloud cover over Earth's oceans The instrument was designed to improve weather predictions and models, in part to help plan for and anticipate extreme weather conditions such as floods, hurricanes and
