ASCAT Coastal Winds at 12.5 km Swath Grid - Metop-A

Abstract:
Equivalent neutral 10m winds over the global oceans, with specific sampling to provide as many observations as possible near the coasts. For wind data before 1 April 2014: better than using this archived NRT product, please use the reprocessed ASCAT winds data records (EO:EUM:DAT:METOP:OSI-150-A, EO:EUM:DAT:METOP:OSI-150-B). Metop-A data are available in the Data Centre up to 15/11/2021. This product can be downloaded as numerical data in EUMETView, where it is provided through a Web Feature Service (WFS).
