Summary
This data sets consists of global ocean surface winds (zonal and
meridional) 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.

The surface winds are calculated using boundary layer similarity
theory.
