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.
