Abstract

The ASCAT Wind Product contains measurements of the wind direction and wind speed above the sea surface. The measurements are obtained through the processing of scatterometer data originating from the ASCAT instrument on EUMETSAT's Metop-C satellite, as described in the ASCAT Wind Product User Manual (https://scatterometer.knmi.nl/publications/pdf/ASCAT_Product_Manual.pdf). The sampling distance is 25 km. Note: All intellectual property rights of the OSI SAF products belong to EUMETSAT. The use of these products is granted to every interested user, free of charge. If you wish to use these products, EUMETSAT's copyright credit must be shown by displaying the words "copyright (year) EUMETSAT" on each of the products used.

Note: This KDP dataset only has data starting from 2023-06-18. The full dataset (starting from 2019-10-22) is available (as NetCDF4) here: https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/dataset/ASCATC-L2-25km
