| hasSummary |
-
Five million international ship observations of the Pacific trade
winds are presented in monthly summaries. For each month in the
period from 1947 to 1973, a 10-degree latitude by 2-degree longitude
grid includes various wind and wind stress information. Coverage
within the grid is not 100% as most observations occurred along
shipping routes. Most of the raw wind observations were Beaufort
estimates that were converted to wind speed and direction.
