Images From SeaWinds on QuikSCAT Data

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

Graphics are excellent tools for preliminary examination of the gross features of the scatterometer observations. These can be combined into animations, which are listed seperately. Still images are grouped below in terms of the main characteristic of the graphic (first column), general region (second column), additional features (third column), specific region (fourth column), and the product or background information (seventh column). The product or background provides additional information such as tips on veiwing the graphics, a different interface (e.g., graphical selection of regions), and/or information on the science related to the graphic.
