Summary

Wind vectors and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) from the TOGA-TAO
array of current meter moorings and ATLAS thermistor chain
moorings. Both quarterly menas and quarterly anomalies are given.
Anomalies are calculated from the COADS wind climatology and the
Reynolds and Smith (1994) Optimal Interpolation SST climatology.

Data from the Joint World ... Meteorological
Organization/Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Technical
Commision for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) Products
Bulletin Data Products. The organization was formally known as the
Integrated Global Ocean Services System (IGOSS) Data Products
Bulletin.
