- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- Monsoons - NASA Earthdata
Seasonal changes in the strength of sunlight and the flow of Earth's Trade Winds shift where the ITCZ sits and monsoons form north and south of the equator This shifting north and south creates dry winters and wet summers for countries in the region Monsoons occur in Asia, India, Australia, Africa, South America, and even North America
- The Devastating August 8th, 2023. . . — VEDA Dashboard - Earthdata
The intense winds was further aided by a sharp pressure gradient caused by Hurricane Dora, a Category 4 hurricane approximately 500 miles south of the islands when the fire began
