Abstract

The potential for near-real-time NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) data to contribute to operational marine forecasting is described. A description of the NSCAT Value Added Product (VAP) activity-an effort to provide near-real-time wind images to the public and operational forecasters-is presented
