Bookmark or Share- Surface Winds | NASA EarthdataSurface 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 ...
- Reckoning with Winds | NASA EarthdataFor instance, September 22, 1996, Typhoon Violet slammed Tokyo with winds up to 78 miles per hour. Deluged by 10 inches of rain in 24 hours, train, air and ferry services shut down. According to news reports, at least 80 landslides resulted from the flooding, and wind and mud combined to take three lives. Another 28 people were injured in the ...
- Wind Speed | NASA EarthdataWind Speed. NASA data shows wind speed at the ocean and land surface as well as in vertical profiles through the atmosphere. Measuring how fast air moves across land, water, and through the atmosphere is a key component to understanding weather and its many forces and processes that shape our world, factor into the events of our days, and at ...
- "But the winds... but the spaces" - EarthdataThe intraseasonal oscillation (I/O)—a disturbance in surface pressure, tropospheric temperature, and winds—blows eastward along the equator, circling the globe within 30 to 60 days of origination. Since the phenomenon was first recognized in satellite outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) data, climate modelers have devoted considerable ...
- A Cross-Calibrated Multi-Platform Ocean Surface Wind ... - EarthdataUpon completion, a consistent 25-year (1987-2012) climate record of ocean surface winds that includes all NASA and NOAA assets will be available for atmospheric and oceanic research and for improved weather and short-term climate prediction. This will be the culmination of extensive research and development under the Pathfinder and REASoN programs.
