High Density GOES-West Hourly IR Winds - Western U.S. and Pacific Coverage
Most Recent Data
These winds are being produced in concert with the GOES rapid scan WINDs EXperiment (GWINDEX) currently being conducted along the West Coast of the US. It is anticipated that these winds will be produced on an hourly basis through the conclusion of GWINDEX (March 31, 2001).
