This netCDF file contains 0.25-degree globally gridded and 6-hourly ocean surface wind stresses created by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) using wind directions estimated from GFS0.25 Forecast Wind vectors.The dataset covers from July 1987 to present with quasi-daily updates. Averaged daily and monthly data are also available. Details can be found at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/marineocean-data/blended-global/blended-sea-winds
The gridded data were generated from the multiple satellite observations of DOD, NOAA and NASA (and future others) and wind retrievals of the Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. (http://www.remss.com), using scientific methods such as objective analysis (OA). The OA is only truly objective when the needed statistics are completely known, which may not always be the case. The GFS0.25 Forecast wind directions and stresses were downloaded from the NOAA Operational Model Archive and Distribution System
