    The ASCension Island Initiative (ASCII) is a project to study cloud and smoke interactions over the southeast Atlantic Ocean.

  17. Stability of the calibration coefficients of the six ASCAT scatterometer radar beams on board the EUMETSAT Metop-A satellite. The stability in dB corresponds approximately to an accuracy in m/s. The calibration is relative to the mean values over 2013.
    Long-term Scatterometer Wind Climate Data Records

    A wind scatterometer is a radar instrument mounted on a weather or research satellite that sends pulses of energy (centimeter radio waves) to the sea surface and then measures the energy scattered by centimeter waves on the sea surface.

  18. AURORA logo
