OW QuikSCAT Wind Speed, Stress and Stress Curl

Description

The dataset contains satellite-derived ocean wind speed, stress and stress curl measurements collected by means of the NASA/JPL SeaWinds Scatterometer sensor. The data is collected daily, and is available at 3-day, weekly and monthly intervals at a spatial resolution of approximately 0.5 degrees. The geographic coverage extends globally, and the temporal coverage ranges from 1999-2009.
