Title: Sea surface wind stress was calculated for 4 NOAA buoys located near Georges Bank, 1975 1997, GLOBEC Program.

Description:

Abstract:

Anemometer records from four NOAA weather buoys (1975-2003) and the Nantucket Light ship (1975-1981) were used to calculate sea-surface wind stress for the Georges Bank region. Sea-surface wind stress was calculated by the neutral stability method of Large and Pond, J. Phys. Ocean, 11 (1981) 324. A detailed discussion of the data collected by the four weather buoys can be found in Manning and Strout, 2001, Deep-Sea Research II, 48:115-123. Buoy number, position and date of observations at that position: Buoy ID 44003 LAT/LON OPER. PERIOD 40.8 N./68.5 W. 03/77-03/84 Buoy ID 44005 LAT/LON OPER. PERIOD 42.7 N./68.3 W. 12/78-03/88 42.7 N./68.6 W. 06/88-08/91 42.6 N./68.6 W. 01/92-01/94 42.9 N./68.9 W. 04/94-03/01 43.2 N./69.2 W. 03/01-09/02 43.2 N./69.2 W. 02/03-06/03 Buoy ID 44008 LAT/LON OPER. PERIOD 40.5 N./69.4 W. 08/82-06/03 Buoy ID 44011 LAT/LON OPER. PERIOD 41.1 N./66.6 W. 05/84-05/03 Nantucket lightship (ntls) LAT/LON OPER. PERIOD 40.5 N./69.46 w. 1975 ^? 1981
