Here are the most recent VIIRS winds generated at CIMSS with data from Sodankylä, Finland, using data from the Finnish Meteorological Institute's direct broadcast system. Click on the product links at left for more images of a specific product. The purpose of this direct broadcast real-time system is two-fold: (1) to generate polar wind and other information more quickly than is done with our current system, so that numerical weather prediction centers can assimilate more polar data in their model runs, and (2) to provide an additional source of information, primarily winds, for local weather forecasters. NOTE: Because of Aqua playback scheduling, only Terra data are used for these products.
