dataset
Four-hour L3 wind data were obtained from NOAA NESDIS CoastWatch at https://coastwatch.noaa.gov/cwn/products/vector-winds-ascat-metop-abc.html and used to calculate wind stress, curl, Ekman upwelling, Wind Diffusivity Currents, and wind divergence derived variables. The four hour products were composited into daily, 3-day, 7-day, and monthly products using the NCO NCRA tool.
