Animation of the retrieved ocean surface wind speed (meters per second) over the period of 1 August 2018 to 31 December 2020, produced using the CYGNSS Level 3 Climate Data Record (CDR) Version 1.1 dataset, which provides wind speed data retrieved from the Delay Doppler Mapping Instrument (DDMI) aboard the CYGNSS satellite constellation. The dataset can be accessed from the PO.DAAC Portal at https://doi.org/10.5067/CYGNS-L3C11 (DOI: 10.5067/CYGNS-L3C11).
