Starting in 1997, the analyses are the quick-look product based on reports coming in over the National Meteorological Center (NMC) Global Telecommunication System (GTS). The data are in (meters/sec)**2 with east = positive and north = positive.
The research quality data, with quicklook only for the most recent year, is available at:
ftp coaps.fsu.edu/pub/wind/pacor
http://www.coaps.fsu.edu/WOCE/SAC/ under the Pacific Research Quality product.
The data are here. Anomalies, climatology, smoothed and detrended versions are included in addition to the original data.
FSU ANOM | Raw windstress data from fsu converted to anomalies by subtraction of the climatology |
FSU FULL | full wind speeds. |
FSU CLIMATOLOGY | climatology used in computing anomalies |
FSU 4yr ANOM | The monthly anomaly relative to the four year running mean. The input data is monthly wind stress anomalies. |
FSU SMOOTH4yr ANOM | This file is produced by spatial smoothing and temporal smoothing of FSU monthly wind stress data. The spatial smoothing is a 1-2-1 filter run in both the X and Y directions. The temporal smoothing is a 1-2-1 average of data from two month ago, last month, and this month. The procedure is applied to the data in FSU 4yr ANOM |
FSU SMOOTH4yr FULL | Add anomalies (from SMOOTH4yr ANOM)and mean values to get full smoothed wind speeds |
