NOAA/NESDIS produces a suite of near-real-time (NRT) Wind and daily Ice products from the QuikSCAT and Adeos-II SeaWind Scatterometer retrievals using the SeaWinds Processing system which is enhanced and maintained under the Computer Sciences Corporation's (CSC) Central Satellite Data Processing (CSDP) contract.

An effort is underway to make a near-real-time winds product available for the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing system - AWIPS. In this paper we describe the new regionalized SeaWinds AWIPS product, how it will be integrated into the current QuikSCAT processing environment, and report on the status of this effort.
