RMKRHF8D–The SeaWinds scatterometer aboard NASA's QuikScat satellite collected the data used to create this colorful image of Cyclone Olaf churning in the South Pacific on February 16, 2005. The colored background shows the near-surface wind speeds at 2.5-kilometer resolution. The strongest winds, shown in purple, are at the center of the storm, with gradually weakening winds forming rings around the center. The black barbs indicate wind speed and direction at QuikScat's nominal, 25-kilometer resolution; white barbs indicate areas of heavy rain. QuikScat Background NASA's Quick Scatterometer (QuikSc
