Satellite Derived Motion Fields: Summary
Higher resolution data, improved science, and full automation - resulted in satwinds which are superior in both quality and quantity to any done previously at NOAA/NESDIS
Improved automated QC is the most significant change in the winds processing system over the past 5 years
Improved target selection avoids mix-level scenes and concentrates on providing greater targeting density for features of interest. Water vapor intercept method.
