QSCAT SeaWinds ocean surface winds depict wind velocities at an elevation of 10m.
The current empirically derived model function being used to relate normalized radar cross-section
with wind speed and direction is referred to as QSCAT1.
The strictest Multidimensional Histogram (MUDH)flag has been used to yield
wind speeds within 2m/s.
- Presented wind speed quantities should not be considered absolute
- In storms with high wind gradients, the wind speed values will be underestimated
- Data buffer is 22 hours prior to the most recent update time.
