Wind/ KONUS data was used to show, for the first time, that fast radio bursts may originate from magnetars, highlighted by NASA at Fast Radio Bursts on 4 November 2020. Wind / KONUS data helped provide evidence of the first giant flare in the nearby Sculptor Galaxy , highlighted by NASA at Giant Flare in Nearby Galaxy on 13 January 2021.
The latest release of the Global Wind Atlas (3.0) was launched on October 25, 2019, featuring further methodological modeling improvements, all new raw data (based on 10 years of mesoscale time-series model simulations), data coverage spanning 200 kilometers offshore, two additional heights (data now at 10, 50, 100, 150 and 200 m above ground ...
A wind atlas contains data on the wind speed and wind direction in a region. [1] These data include maps , but also time series or frequency distributions . A climatological wind atlas covers hourly averages at a standard height (10 meters) over even longer periods (30 years) but depending on the application there are variations in averaging ...
The Parker Solar Probe was launched Aug. 12, 2018 with the mission of coming within 4 million miles of the sun's surface to study the formation of the solar wind.. The spacecraft is designed to ...
If the wind speed is forecast to be 200 knots or greater, the wind group is coded as 99 knots. For example, when the data appears as “7799,” subtract 50 from 77 and add 100 to 99, and the wind is 270° at 199 knots or greater. When the forecast wind speed is calm, or less than 5 knots, the data group is coded “9900,” which means light ...
Sea surface roughness corresponds to wind speed. [11] Using a network of eight small satellites enables frequent observations: the mean revisit time is predicted to be 7 hours. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] The eight microsatellites orbit at an inclination of 35°, and are each capable of measuring 4 simultaneous reflections, resulting in 32 wind measurements ...
The "global terrestrial stilling" is not affecting in the same way the whole Earth's surface across both land and ocean surfaces. Spatially, increasing wind speed trends have been reported for some regions, in particular for high-latitudes, [18] coastal [19] and for ocean surfaces where different authors [3] [20] [4] have evidenced an increased global trend of wind speed using satellite ...
All science and other data will be shared with the heliophysics community as rapidly as practical with an open data policy compliant with the NASA Heliophysics Science Data Management Policy. The NASA Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF) is the final archive for IMAP, with regular transfer of data to the SPDF so that the data can be made ...
