We are in the process of migrating all NASA Earth science data sites into Earthdata from now until end of 2026. Not all NASA Earth science data and resources will appear here until then. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition.

Atmospheric Winds Data Access and Tools
NASA’s atmospheric wind data range from hourly primary forcing measurements to inter-related suites of atmospheric wind and other data. Our datasets and tools help users find and integrate the information they need to see how this primary weather force effects our lives and planet.

Featured Atmospheric Winds Observation Method: MODIS
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) flies aboard the Terra and Aqua satellites and surveys Earth every one to two days. The multi-spectral instrument can be used in a variety of ways including detecting winds in different levels of the atmosphere.
Scientists develop routine service for wildfire detection in the continental United States with a latency of less than 60 seconds.
