ERS-1 Scatterometer Winds Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.042

Summary
The ERS-1 Scatterometer Winds Imagery (JPG) is one of several satellite
products collected as part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine
Stratocumulus Phase-II: Entrainment Studies (DYCOMS-II) project field catalog
operated by the National Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing
Laboratory (NCAR/EOL: http://catalog.eol.ucar.edu/dycoms). The Naval Research
Laboratory (NRL) utilizes the European Remote Sensing Satellite (ERS-1)
scatterometer to retrieve surface wind vectors. The products cover the period
from 1-31 July 2001 and cover the region from 5S to 40N and 100W to 180W. The
products were available at varying times. The products were acquired from the
NRL. All images are in jpg format.
