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 ...
WW2D Plus One - an update to WW2D providing a 3D view. Punt was a fork of the .NET NASA WorldWind project, and was started by two members of the free software community who had made contributions to WorldWind. Punt was based on the code in WorldWind 1.3.2, but its initial release has features not found in WorldWind 1.3.2 or 1.3.3 (such as ...
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 tz database partitions the world into regions where local clocks all show the same time. This map was made by combining version 2023d with OpenStreetMap data, using open source software. [1] This is a list of time zones from release 2025a of the tz database. [2]
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 NASA QuikSCAT (Quick Scatterometer) was an Earth observation satellite carrying the SeaWinds scatterometer.Its primary mission was to measure the surface wind speed and direction over the ice-free global oceans via its effect on water waves.
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 ...
On June 26, 2018, the US Air Force informed NASA it had assigned the X-59 QueSST designation to the demonstrator. [7] By October, NASA Langley had completed [clarification needed] three weeks of wind tunnel testing of an 8%-scale model, with high AOAs up to 50° and 88° at very low speed, up from 13° in previous tunnel campaigns.
