Title: Monthly and Climatological Tropical Pacific Wind Stress
Abstract: 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.
