Wind Vectors for Hurricane Erin (WMS)
This visualization shows wind vectors for Hurricane Erin on September 10, 2001. Wind direction and speed are represented by the direction and speed of moving arrows, respectively. This animation represents a single measurement taken by the SeaWinds instrument on the QuikSCAT satellite, taken at 14:27:00 UTC on September 10, 2001. The WMS version of this animation which is available through the SVS Image Server (http://aes.gsfc.nasa.gov) presents this animation with a different timestamp for each frame in order to more easily present the images as an animation. It should be noted that each frame really has a time stamp of 2001-09-10 14:27:00 UTC.

Hurricane Erin was positioned off the coast of the United States on September 10, 2001. This animation shows the strength and direction of wind by animating small arrows. Faster-moving arrows represent stronger winds.    Hurricane Erin was positioned off the coast of the United States on September 10, 2001.
