ASCAT Coastal Winds at 12.5 km Swath Grid - Metop

Abstract:
Equivalent neutral 10m winds over the global oceans, with specific sampling to provide as many observations as possible near the coasts. 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). For Metop-A, t is recommended that the reprocessed ASCAT winds data records (10.15770/EUM_SAF_OSI_0007) are used instead of this archived NRT product for the period before 1 April 2014. Metop-A data are available in the Data Centre up to 15/11/2021.
