OSWT Research and Publications
The primary objective of the Ocean Surface Winds Team (OSWT) is to
provide science support for remotely-sensed ocean surface wind products
through product development, product validation, product improvement and
user education and outreach. Its objective is to improve utilization of
these data within NOAA and to provide guidance and support in planning for
current and future missions. These products primarily address
NOAA's mission goals of "Serve Society's Needs for Weather and Water
Information" and "Support the Nation's Commerce with Information for Safe,
Efficient, and Environmentally Sound Transportation". The OSWT works
closely with operational forecasters in the NWS and other parts of NOAA,
and thus, much of its research, development and validation is in support
of the near real-time product stream. In support of these activities OSWT
operates several near real-time satellite product processing systems
and supports the Ocean Winds flight experiment program with the NOAA
P-3 aircraft.
