The Advanced Wind Scatterometer(Ascat) is a C-band radar instrument used for global measurement of the sea surface wind vectors. Ascat will provide, in addition to the sea surface wind vectors, observations of surface characteristics over land and ice. By virtue to its wide swath, and continuous operation round the orbit, Ascat will provide quasi-global coverage in 24 hours. 3, record 1, English, - advanced%20scatterometer
