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.

Wind Speed Data Access and Tools
NASA data includes ocean surface wind speed and direction from satellite instruments, vertical wind profiles from airborne instruments and dropsondes, and surface wind measurements and models. Our datasets and tools help researchers translate these interconnected data points into actionable knowledge.
