Wind Speed Data Access and Tools

NASA data includes ocean surface wind speed and direction from satellite instruments, vertical wind profiles from airborne instruments and dropsondes, and surface wind measurements and models. Our datasets and tools help researchers translate these interconnected data points into actionable knowledge.
