Description:

The Seventeenth International Winds Workshop (IWW17) took place virtually from May 19 to 22, 2025. This event was a collaborative effort, co-organized by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), with support from Lynker LLC and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The workshop was attended by 75 participants and featured 50 presentations and 10 posters. Topics covered a range of subjects, including satellite winds derivation (feature tracking) and quality, ocean surface winds, use of winds in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and other applications, future wind-related satellite missions, measurement campaigns supporting these missions, and the reprocessing of climate wind records. The International Winds Workshop brings together the International Winds Working Group (IWWG) . This group plays a crucial role in communicating with the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) Coordination Group for Meteorological Satellites (CGMS) on important matters concerning wind derivation from satellites. The workshop serves as a forum for data producers and users to exchange information on the characteristics of all satellite winds (feature tracked, scatterometer, etc.), and to optimize their application in various fields, particularly in numerical weather prediction. This report details the proceedings of IWW17 and includes its recommendations.
