Wind, All Metop ASCAT, 0.25°, Global, Near Real Time, 2013-present, Divergence and Modulus (Monthly)

NOAA CoastWatch distributes near real time divergence and modulus wind data originating with wind velocity measurements from the ASCAT instruments onboard all EUMETSAT's MetOp satellites. ASCAT is a microwave scatterometer designed to measure surface winds over the global ocean. Wind velocity is processed to wind divergence by NOAA CoastWatch. (This is a monthly composite.)
