Wind Speed and Direction Extension

Wind Speed and Direction aims to provide a global database of calibrated and validated wind speed direction sourced from scatterometers in Australian coastal waters in addition to acquiring global scatterometer data from both previous and existing satellite missions. Data will be calibrated against buoy data, creating a continuous global record from 1992 to present.
