SEASAT-A Satellite Scatterometer Derived Surface Wind Stress for the Global Ocean
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
Scatterometer data from Seasat, until the mission abruptly ended in October 1978, was used to derive 10-meter wind speed components over the global ocean at 2.5-degree resolution.
Description
These winds were then used to compute surface stress using the Large and Pond formulation for the drag coefficient, assuming neutral stability.
