Animation of the retrieved ocean surface wind speed over the period of 1 August 2018 to 10 December 2021, produced using the CYGNSS Level 3 Science Data Record (SDR) Version 3.1 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-L3X31 (DOI: 10.5067/CYGNS-L3X31).
