ds209.0
Abstract:
The Climatic Research Institute at Oregon State University compiled these climatologies of ocean heat balance and wind stress for the global oceans. The input data was from the time period 1850 to 1974.
Temporal Range:
1850 to 1974
Variables:
| Air Temperature | Heat Flux | Humidity | Sea Level Pressure |
| Sea Surface Temperature | Surface Winds | Thermal Infrared | Wind Stress |
Vertical Levels:
| Ground or water surface |
Temporal Frequencies:
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.
