Sea Surface Wind Stress, NOAA NCEI blended 6 hour averaged 0.25° Version 2.0, Near Real-time (last ~45 days), 6 hour

This netCDF file contains 0.25-degree globally gridded and 6-hourly ocean surface wind stresses created by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) using wind directions estimated from GFS0.25 Forecast Wind vectors.The dataset covers from July 1987 to present with quasi-daily updates. Averaged daily and monthly data are also available. Details can be found at https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/marineocean-data/blended-global/b…
