Chelton, D. B., A. M. Mestas-Nunez, and M. H. Freilich, 1990: Global
Wind Stress and Sverdrup Circulation from the Seasat Scatterometer.
J. Phys. Oceanogr., 20(8), 1175-1205 (DOI:
10.1175/1520-0485(1990)020<1175:GWSASC>2.0.CO;2).

| hasSummary |
-
Scatterometer data from Seasat, until the mission abruptly ended in
October 1978, was used to derive 10-meter wind speed components over
the global ocean at 2.5-degree resolution. These winds were then
used to compute surface stress using the Large and Pond formulation
for the drag coefficient, assuming neutral stability.
