| Abstract | Sea surface winds are observed from polar orbiting satellites by active and passive microwave instruments. The scatterometer on the European Remote Sensing Satellite-1 (ERS-1) has been operating since 1991 providing vector winds at 50 km resolution over a 500 km wide swath, and ERS-2, a twin, was launched in 1995. The Special Sensor Microwave Imager, SSM/I, (on several Defense Meteorological Program satellites since 1987) provides wind speed in non-raining areas over a 1400 km swath. Several altimeters such as those on the ERS satellites and TOPEX-Poseidon (since 1992) sample a 10 km wide path at nadir providing wind speed over the footprint. All these data can be used singly, in conjunction or after assimilation into numerical models to form gridded wind fields that may represent the surface wind over periods ranging from the instantaneous swath view to hours, days, weeks or months. The authors examine how the sampling and the method to form the wind field influences the resulting means of certain wind parameters during the passage of a midlatitude cyclone in the North Pacific Ocean. The main objective is to understand the possible adverse effects of limited sampling of the storm systems moving across the sea. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
