Information

The aim of this section of the wiki (under development) is to provide information on the main satellite-derived wind datasets including how they are derived, used, where to go for further information or to access derivation software, monitoring etc. In some cases information is provided via links to avoid duplicating efforts elsewhere. Aside from the benefit to people getting started in this field, the pages can be used to summarise the current status and highlight where further development might be required (e.g. in AMV derivation) and to facilitate better interaction with research groups (both issues raised at IWW10).
