This database contains global data of wind speed and wind direction obtained from scatterometer missions which have flown since 1992. The data has been calibrated against NDBC buoy data and validated with independent buoy measurements and at cross-over points with other scatterometer and altimeter missions. The performance of the scatterometers at high wind speeds was examined against buoy and platform measurements. Where necessary, corrections were applied to ensure scatterometer data agreed with the insitu wind speed for high wind speeds.
