The dataset Blended Coastal Winds is an EMD coastal region subset of the NOAA Blended Sea Winds dataset. The Blended Sea Winds dataset originates from the NOAA / NESDIS / National Climatic Data Center, USA. This sub-dataset is provided and processed by EMD International A/S.
Coverage
This dataset contains globally gridded high resolution ocean surface winds and wind stresses on a global 0.25 degree grid.
Data Source
The dataset has up to four daily records, where the winds have been blended from multiple records from up to six satellites equipped with scatterometers. The winds are 10 minute averages in 10 meter height. The wind direction is from the NCEP reanalysis 2 (NRA-2).
