ERA-40 Global Upper Air Satellite Wind Observation Feedback Record Reports 

ERA-40 Global Upper Air Satellite Wind Observation Feedback Record Reports include upper air satellite wind observation (SATWND)
feedback record reports from SATWNDs used in the ECMWF 45-year reanalysis (ERA-40)
covering the period from September 1957 to August 2002.  SATWNDs, from multiple data
sources, were assimilated into an ECMWF model and produced ERA-40.  Select variables include zonal and meridional wind speed components at the observed pressure level.  The metadata generated
during the ERA-40 quality control data assimilation process were appended to the input observations.
The final combination of input observations and feedback metadata are called feedback record reports.
