Summary
Abstract: This data set contains monthly mean and monthly climatological mean
wind stresses (dynes/cm**2), wind stress curl (dynes/cm**3), and
Sverdrup transport stream functions and Sverdrup transport
anomalies (gm/s) for the years 1980 through 1986. The data are given on a
2.5 X 2.5 lat/lon grid based upon twice-daily 1000 mb wind analyses from
the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts ... View entire text
