climatology grids (Normal size)
Abbreviation used in the following link table :
ModW = ModWnd grid field : Wind speed
ZonW = ZonWnd grid field : Zonal wind
MerW = MerWnd grid field : Meridional wind
ModS = ModStr grid field : Wind stress magnitude
ZonS = ZonStr grid field : Zonal wind stress
MerS = MerStr grid field : Meridional wind stress
DivW = DivWnd grid field : Divergence of wind
CurS = CurStr grid field : Curl of wind stress
DirW = DirWnd grid field : Wind direction
DirS = DirStr grid field : Wind stress direction
Remarks:
1/ The monthly climatology grids are obtained by taking the median of the eight
corresponding fields for years 1992 (from March) to 2000 (February), from the ERS
satellites only.
2/ The 8-year average climatology is obtained by taking the median of the monthly
climatology
3/ The error maps : ModWndEr, ZonWndEr, MerWndEr, ModStrEr, ZonStrEr, MerStrEr can be
reached by heading to the corresponding parameter and then changing image type.
4/ Data from the NSCAT satellite have been excluded from the climatology.
