The Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) ocean surface winds are a 10 meter neutral stability wind.

Description

These products are processed by NOAA/National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) utilizing measurements from ASCAT aboard the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) METOP satellite. The current geophysical model function (GMF) being used is CMOD5.5, where the GMF relates the normalized radar cross-section to the ocean surface wind speed and direction.

All dates and times are Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Zulu Time (UT), and World Time.
