This historical dataset is recommended for ancillary use only and not as a primary research dataset. It has likely been superseded by a newer, improved dataset.
Abstract:
A monthly mean climatological wind stress was derived from the National Climate Center Tape Deck Family - 11 (TDF-11) ocean observations. The dataset was derived in 1989 using the Large and Pond algorithm for ocean wind stress.
Temporal Range:
1850 to 1979
Variables:
| Wind Stress |

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.
