Wind Stress, QuikSCAT SeaWinds, 0.125°, Global, Science Quality, 1999-2009 (3 Day)

NOAA CoastWatch distributes science quality wind stress data in zonal, meridional, modulus, and wind stress curl sets. This data begins with wind velocity measurements from the SeaWinds instrument onboard NASA's QuikSCAT satellite. SeaWinds is a microwave scatterometer designed to measure surface winds over the global ocean. NOAA CoastWatch processes wind velocity to wind stress and wind stress curl. (This is a 3 day composite.)

NOAA CoastWatch分发科学质量的风应力数据，包括经向、纬向、模量和风应力旋度集。该数据集始于美国宇航局QuikSCAT卫星SeaWinds仪器测量的风速数据。SeaWinds是一种微波散射计，旨在测量全球海洋表面的风速。NOAA CoastWatch将风速处理为风应力和风应力旋度。 (此为三天合成数据。)
