attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String NOAA CoastWatch distributes near real time wind data originating with wind velocity measurements from the ASCAT instrument onboard EUMETSAT's Metop-B satellite.  ASCAT is a microwave scatterometer designed to measure surface winds over the global ocean.  Wind velocity is processed to wind divergence by NOAA CoastWatch. (This is a 1 day composite.)
