Monthly means are in one file for SST and two files for Pseudo Wind Stress (zonal = pwsx ; meridional = pwsy) during 1964-March 2009: 45+ years.
sst6409b03.txt - Mean SST data, 1964 thru March 2009
pwsx6409b03.txt - Mean Zonal (u) component of pseudostress, 1964 thru March
2009
pwsy6409b03.txt - Mean Meridional (v) component of pseudostress, 1964 thru
March 2009
A
netCDF file containing means for 1964-2006 is also available.
Monthly anomalies are in one file for SST (anomt) and two files for Pseudo Wind Stress (zonal = anomx ; meridional = anomy) during 1964-March 2009: 45+ years.
anomt6409b03.txt - SST anomaly data, 1964 thru March 2009
anomx6409b03.txt - Zonal (u) component of pseudostress anomaly, 1964 thru
March 2009
anomy6409b03.txt - Meridional (v) component of pseudostress anomaly, 1964
thru March 2009
A
netCDF file containing anomalies for 1964-2006 is also available.
The netCDF files are created by COAPS/FSU. Questions should be directed to winds@coaps.fsu.edu.
Plots of these products are available.
In addition, you can download the long-term monthly average (climatology) files for the period 1964-2003 which were used to create the anomalies:
sst6403_clim.atl - SST climatology
pwsx6403_clim.atl - Zonal pseudostress climatology
pwsy6403_clim.atl - Meridional pseudostress climatology
NOTE: These data files and plots are provided as a courtesy to Dr. Servain by COAPS. They will be updated at periodic intervals.
The data are 2 latitude by 2 longitude gridded, from 30N to 20S and 60W to 16E.
Each month is represented by a 38 (longitude) by 25 (latitude) matrix; 25 lines x 38 columns.
The first data is at the NW corner (centered at 59W, 29N).
The format of each file is (13i5,13i5,12i5) = one line of longitude.
There is no blank line between 2 consecutive months, and between 2 consecutive years.
The units are 1/10 Celsius for SST and 1/10 m2/s2 for Pseudo Wind Stress.
The land values are forced to 99998.
Bonne chance!
