Abstract:
The ECMWF analyses for 1980-1989 were used to derive a global year-month wind stress climatology. Several climate monthly mean grids were also formed. Wind component grids are also available as are standard deviation grids for each variable computed.
Temporal Range:
1980 to 1989
Variables:
| Surface Winds | Wind Stress |
Vertical Levels:
| Ground or water surface |
Temporal Frequencies:
Every month
, Monthly Climatology
Data Types:

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
