SEASAT-A Satellite Scatterometer Derived Surface Wind Stress for the Global Ocean

Scatterometer data from Seasat, until the mission abruptly ended in October 1978, was used to derive 10-meter wind speed components over the global ocean at 2.5-degree resolution. These winds were then used to compute surface stress using the Large and Pond formulation for the drag coefficient, assuming neutral stability.Seasat卫星的散射计数据直至1978年10月任务突然终止之前被采用，以2.5度分辨率在全球海洋上推导出10米风速分量。随后，利用大型和庞德公式计算阻力系数，在假设中性稳定性的条件下，这些风速被用于计算地表应力。
