Real-Time Winds
from Aqua: Winds over the Arctic and Antarctic are now being
generated in real-time from the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Aqua satellite, in addition to Terra
MODIS winds. A problem with navigation information in some of the
Aqua MODIS files results in spatial gaps, but otherwise the quality is
similar to the Terra MODIS winds. Real-time plots are available
at http://stratus.ssec.wisc.edu/products/rtpolarwinds.
The MODIS data are obtained courtesy of Gene Legg and Paul Haggerty,
Office of Satellite Data Processing and Distribution. A dedicated
workstation was recently acquired for MODIS polar winds processing.
