ASCAT Ocean Surface Wind Vector Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/347.056

Summary
This data set contains ASCAT ocean surface wind vector imagery over the DYNAMO
region. ASCAT is the scatterometer instrument aboard the METOP-A satellite.
Products include four sub-sectors over the DYNAMO region and an overview
sector. The regional sub-sectors were produced by NOAA/NESDIS and the overview
sector was produced by NCAR/EOL. All images are in png format.
