And, methinks the Earth Observatory knows of what they speak. On the aforementioned site, it’s explained how the satellite measures the wind speed over the water, which is astonishing: The strength and scope of these winds were observed by NASA’s QuikScat satellite at about 7 a.m. local time October 22. The wind speeds are shownContinue reading “Santa Ana Wind Speeds — According to NASA”
