Scatterometer Data
http://manati.wwb.noaa.gov/doc/erswinds.html
For those of you unfamiliar with scatterometer data, this is what we normally look at.  Along the top are the wind values associated with each color. The red represents 30-35 knot winds and the brown inside the field of red plots represent 35-40 knots.  This particular pass is from Typhoon Leo during its period of rapid intensification. This data can be found on the internet at the noaa site:
