    <descript>
      <abstract>NOAA CoastWatch distributes near real time wind stress data in zonal, meridional, modulus, and wind stress curl sets.  This data begins with wind velocity measurements from the ASCAT instrument onboard EUMETSAT&#039;s METOP satellite.  ASCAT is a microwave scatterometer designed to measure surface winds over the global ocean.  NOAA CoastWatch processes wind velocity to wind stress and wind stress curl.</abstract>
