Wind, All Metop ASCAT, 0.25Â°, Global, Near Real Time, 2013 (1 Day)

Summary:
NOAA CoastWatch distributes near real time wind data originating with wind velocity measurements from the Advanced SCATterometer (ASCAT) instruments onboard all European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT)'s MetOp satellites.  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.)

NDBC Standard Meteorological Buoy Data, 1970-present

Summary:
The National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) distributes meteorological data from
moored buoys maintained by NDBC and others. Moored buoys are the weather
sentinels of the sea. They are deployed in the coastal and offshore waters
from the western Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean around Hawaii, and from the
Bering Sea to the South Pacific. NDBC's moored buoys measure and transmit
barometric pressure; wind direction, speed, and gust; air and sea
temperature; and wave energy spectra from which significant wave height,
dominant wave period, and average wave period are derived. Even the
direction of wave propagation is measured on many moored buoys. See
https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/measdes.shtml for a description of the measurements.

The source data from NOAA NDBC has different column names, different units,
and different missing values in different files, and other problems
(notably, lots of rows with duplicate or different values for the same time
point). This dataset is a standardized, reformatted, and lightly edited
version of that source data, created by NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Southwest Fisheries Science Center (SWFSC) ERD (email:
erd.data at noaa.gov). Before 2020-01-29, this dataset only had the data
that was closest to a given hour, rounded to the nearest hour. Now, this
dataset has all of the data available from NDBC with the original time
values. If there are multiple source rows for a given buoy for a given
time, only the row with the most non-NaN data values is kept. If there is
a gap in the data, a row of missing values is inserted (which causes a nice
gap when the data is graphed). Also, some impossible data values are
removed, but this data is not perfectly clean. This dataset is now updated
every 5 minutes.

This dataset has both historical data (quality controlled, before
2022-10-01T00:00:00Z) and near real time data (less quality controlled,
which may change at any time, from 2022-10-01T00:00:00Z on).

Saildrone Hurricane Monitoring 2021 NRT data

Summary:
Saildrone Hurricane Monitoring 2021 Near Real Time (NRT) data, drone 1060. Five Gen6 Saildrone Explorer USVs were launched in the Atlantic Ocean for the duration of the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season. These USVs were equipped with a 'hurricane wing' designed specifically to withstand hurricane-strength winds and waves. The five objectives of this mission  include (1) advancing the CONOPS of steering and operating USVs towards strong low-pressure systems, (2) coordinating with underwater gliders, (3) developing CONOPS for coordinating with UAVs, (4) developing CONOPS for using multiple USVs to observe the air-sea interface ahead, inside and behind hurricanes, and (5) provision of real-time data for ingestion to Global Telecommunications System (GTS) and reception by operational data assimilation and forecast systems.

WaveWatch III (WW3) Global Wave Model 2013

Summary:
Through a collaborative effort with NOAA/National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and National Weather Service (NWS) Honolulu, the University of Hawaii has implemented a global-scale WaveWatch III (WW3) 7-day model with a 5-day hourly forecast at approximately 50-km or 0.5-deg resolution. The global model is forced with NOAA/NCEP's Global Forecast System (GFS) winds. This model is designed to capture the large-scale ocean waves and provide spectral boundary conditions for the Hawaii and other Pacific regional WW3 models. While considerable effort has been made to implement all model components in a thorough, correct, and accurate manner, numerous sources of error are possible. As such, please use these data with the caution appropriate for any ocean related activity.

IBTrACS, International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship, version v04r00, Last Three Years

Summary:
IBTrACS - International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship - version v04r00, Position, intensity and other information for known tropical cyclones. The intent of the IBTrACS project is to overcome best track data availability issues that arise from multiple agencies producing data for different storms in different formats. This was achieved by working directly with all the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers and other international centers and individuals to create a global best track dataset, merging storm information from multiple agencies into one product and archiving the data for public use.

IBTrACS, International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship, version v04r01, Since 1980

Summary:
IBTrACS - International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship - version v04r01, Position, intensity and other information for known tropical cyclones. The intent of the IBTrACS project is to overcome best track data availability issues that arise from multiple agencies producing data for different storms in different formats. This was achieved by working directly with all the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers and other international centers and individuals to create a global best track dataset, merging storm information from multiple agencies into one product and archiving the data for public use.
