Summary

Abstract: There are several products available in this dataset.
* Wind direction and speed derived by JPL from the scatterometer
instrument aboard the ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellites. These along swath
orbit data are online at NCAR. However, due to restrictions place on
the data usage, by the European Space Agency (ESA), data users must
