ASCAT Ocean Surface Wind Vector Imagery

This data set contains ASCAT ocean surface wind vector imagery over the DYNAMO region. ASCAT is the scatterometer instrument aboard the METOP-A satellite. Products include four sub-sectors over the DYNAMO region and an overview sector. The regional sub-sectors were produced by NOAA/NESDIS and the overview sector was produced by NCAR/EOL. All images are in png format.
