Global wind intensity at 10 meters in meter per second (m/s) from MERRA for each year between 1985 year 2012 and the global average. MERRA is a NASA reanalysis for the satellite era using a major new version of the Goddard Earth Observing System Data Assimilation System Version 5 (GEOS-5). The Project focuses on historical analyses of the hydrological cycle on a broad range of weather and climate time scales and places the NASA EOS suite of observations in a climate context. More information, including an FAQ and the file specification document that explains each of the products in detail, is available at the MERRA web site at the GMAO (http://gmao.gsfc.nasa.gov/merra/).The "Wind intensity" field in the catalog is an annual mean of the global 10-m wind field produced each 6 h at the native resolution of 0.5° in latitude x 0.625° in latitude.Annual mean values are available for each year from 1985 to 2012 as well as the global average for that period.
