QuikSCAT refers to the SeaWinds Scatterometer flying onboard NASA's Quick Scatterometer Spacecraft which was launched in June 1999.QuikSCAT data was incorporated into the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) operational global weather analysis and forecast systems model in July 2001 and into the NAWIPS workstations in October 2001.
