NWP SAF Wind Processing Software
The wind processing software was developed in the context of the EUMETSAT
Numerical Weather Prediction Satellite Application Facility (NWP SAF).
Software was developed to process scatterometer data from ERS, ASCAT (AWDP),
SeaWinds, OSCAT, HSCAT and RapidScat (PenWP), and CFOSAT Rotating Fan Beam (CWDP) scatterometers.
The software is currently used (in parts) by several users, including KNMI.
Its wind products are displayed on the web in near real time.
The SDP and OWDP packages are obsolete now and have been replaced by PenWP.
Support is still provided for existing users.
More information on the other NWP SAF software and on the project consortium is
available on the central NWP SAF web site (see related link, or click on the SAF
logo).
Since 2017, wind processing packages are further developed within the
Ocean and Sea Ice SAF, however they are still distributed through the NWP SAF
website.
AWDP
The ASCAT Wind Data Processor, AWDP version 3, which is also capable of
processing ERS scatterometer data, is obtainable through the
software request form on the NWP SAF scatterometer pages. The documentation can be found
here.
PenWP
The Pencil beam Wind Processor for Ku-band instruments, PenWP version 2, is obtainable through the
software request form on the NWP SAF scatterometer pages. The documentation can be found
here.
CWDP
The CFOSAT Wind Data Processor for the Rotating Fan Beam scatterometer, CWDP version 0.9, is obtainable through the
software request form on the NWP SAF scatterometer pages. The documentation can be found
here.
Please use the NWP SAF
helpdesk form to report bugs or to ask questions about the NWP SAF and
its deliverables.
