Description

This record contains data related to article "Constructing Satellite-based Ocean-surface Stress and Ekman Circulation in the Arctic and Southern Ocean". It offers a high-resolution, daily analysis of ocean-surface stress and Ekman circulation over the Arctic and Southern Ocean, derived from multiplatform satellite observations.

All data are projected onto a 25 km EASE2 grid with daily resolution. The dataset (netcdf) contains the following variables:

-       zonal components of ocean-surface stress (TAUx, N/m2)

-       meridional components of ocean-surface stress (TAUy, N/m2)

-       magnitude of ocean-surface stress (TAU, N/m2)

-       uncertainty estimates for TAUx (N/m2)

-       uncertainty estimates for TAUy (N/m2)

-       Ekman pumping rate (We, m/s)

-       Land mask

-       Longitude

-       Latitude
