## Abstract
The dataset consists of ocean surface wind speed and direction at 10 m height and 1 km spatial resolution around the wider Australian coastal areas, spanning 4 years (2017 to 2021) of measurements from Sentinel-1 A and B imaging Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) platforms. The winds have been derived using a consistent SAR wind retrieval algorithm, processing the full Sentinel-1 archive in this region. The data are appropriately quality controlled, flagged, and archived as NetCDF files representing SAR wind field maps aligned with satellite along-track direction. The data have been calibrated against Metop-A/B Scatterometer buoy-calibrated, wind measurements and examined for potential changes in calibration over the duration of the data. The calibrated data are further validated by comparisons against independent Altimeter (Cryosat-2, Jason-2, Jason-3, and SARAL) wind speeds. Several methods for data access are also listed. The database is potentially useful for offshore industries (oil and gas, fisheries, shipping, offshore wind energy), public recreational activities (fishing, sailing, surfing), and protection and management of coasts and natural habitats.
