NOTICE: You may soon notice a change (in appearance only) to these Internet web pages as we upgrade and improve our site in the coming weeks. The data products themselves will of course remain unchanged. Thank you.
These data contain products generated by PFEL from the FNMOC sea level pressure fields.
- PFEL's Historical Product for 15
positions along the North American west coast at each 3 degrees of Latitude from 21N to 60N.
Each of these data files contain:
surface atmospheric pressure; northward component of surface wind; eastward component
of surface wind; northward wind stress; eastward wind stress; wind stress curl; cube of wind
speed; northward component of Ekman transport; eastward component of Ekman transport;
offshore component of Ekman transport; direction of offshore component of Ekman transport;
vertical velocity into the Ekman layer; and Sverdrup transport.
Download these products- below (text files of entire series, size indicated), or
- on PFEL's Live Access Server for customized subsections of the data and alternate file formats.
- Global monthly derived winds and transports can be obtained for any point on the ocean (Northern Hemisphere: 1967 - present, Southern Hemisphere: 1981 - present).
Download these products- on PFEL's Live Access Server, or
- if the
products on the Live Access Server do not fit your needs, products can also be obtained by special request.
