* NOAA CoastWatch Program DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/STAR/SOCD College Park, MD 20740 * In this Lesson: Why do we measure ocean surface winds? What are ocean surface winds? How are they measured? How do they develop? What are vectors? How do you read a vector? * Wind is the horizontal motion of air relative to the earth’s surface. Ocean surface wind is wind at or near the ocean surface. Unequal heating across the earth’s surface by the sun results in differences in air pressure. Ocean surface winds develop when this difference in pressure produces a force (called the pressure gradient force)
