|---|---|---|---|---|
| attribute | NC_GLOBAL | acknowledgement | String | 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 ERA-5 wind directions and stresses were downloaded from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Climate Data Store |
