Seasonal cycles for these variables were estimated using harmonic analysis where each multi-year time series of monthly means was fitted to a nine-parameter regression model consisting of a constant plus four harmonics. Only monthly global maps (January - December), constructed from the annual and semiannual harmonics, for the twelve SCOW wind variables are archived here, while the regression coefficients from which the monthly values were computed, as well as example scripts, can be downloaded from SCOW web site [http://numbat.coas.oregonstate.edu/scow/example_code.html]. For researchers interested in more than just the annual and semiannual harmonics, these regression coefficients include the higher-order 3 and 4 cycles per year harmonics. The regression coefficients allow easy calculation of the seasonal cycle at each grid location at an arbitrary time interval. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset NetCDF dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral QUIKSCAT > QUIKSCAT U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Platforms EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WINDS > VORTICITY EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WINDS > WIND STRESS EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WINDS > CONVERGENCE/DIVERGENCE EARTH SCIENCE > OCEANS > OCEAN WINDS > SURFACE WINDS U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration Global Change Master Directory GCMD 2026-02-27 revision 23.4 NASA Global Change Master Directory orginator Valids List: Science and Services Keywords Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License None grid 0.25 eng utf-8 climatologyMeteorologyAtmosphere -180.0 180.0 -69.875 69.875 1999-09-01T0000+00 2009-10-31T0000+00 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 258.36 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d232002/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d232002/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
