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
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
Wind Speed - NASA Earthdata NASA data shows wind speed at the ocean and land surface as well as in vertical profiles through the atmosphere
Monsoons - NASA Earthdata Monsoons data from NASA provides global insight into the formation and behavior of these seasonal wind and rain phenomena
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
Cross-Calibrated, Multi-Platform (CCMP) Ocean Surface Wind . . . - Earthdata 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
SeaWinds - NASA Earthdata 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
QuikSCAT Level 1C Averaged Sigma-0 and Winds from Non . . . - Earthdata This dataset is Version 2 of the geo-located and averaged Level 1B Sigma-0 measurements and wind retrievals from the SeaWinds on QuikSCAT platform, initiated in the months following the failure of the rotating antenna motor on 22 November 2009, using the various incidence angles at which QuikSCAT was pointed during the time period from November 2009 until present Incidence angles were varied
Lake Effect Snow | NASA Earthdata Lake effect snow is generated when cold air moves over warm lake waters such that narrow bands of snow clouds develop The warmer lake waters heat the lower portions of air, causing it to become less dense and begin to rise As this moisture-laden, warmer air rises, it begins to cool, leading to condensation and the formation of clouds that can become rather tall, enabling the growth of very
Tropical Cyclones | NASA Earthdata Earth observation data are vital in planning for and dealing with the many hazards from tropical cyclones, such as storm surge, flooding, extreme winds, tornadoes, and lightning Over the past 50 years, tropical cyclones have killed more than 779,000 people and caused more than $1 4 trillion in economic losses worldwide, according to the WMO
