These along swath orbit data are online at NCAR. However, due to restrictions place on the data usage, by the European Space Agency (ESA), data users must first receive permission to use this dataset. Questions concerning permission should be directed to: * The above ERS products were archived in the 1990s and are quite old versions. Better versions are available through European KNMI/ESA sources. [https://scatterometer.knmi.nl/archived_prod/] * 1-degree by 1-degree, 80S to 80N, monthly mean grids for ERS1 (1991.01-1996.05) and ERS2 (1996.04-1999.12). These data were obtained directly from CERSAT, IFREMER, France. [http://cersat.ifremer.fr/] Extant variables include wind speed, u- and v- wind components, stresses, divergence and curl. completed datahelp@ucar.edu pointOfContact notPlanned dataset NetCDF dataset Resource Type 2021-03-30 revision 4.4 DataCite Metadata Working Group orginator resourceTypeGeneral GRIDDING METHODS 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 > WIND STRESS EARTH SCIENCE > ATMOSPHERE > ATMOSPHERIC WINDS > WIND DYNAMICS > CONVERGENCE 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 eng utf-8 oceans 1991-09 1999-12 NSF NCAR Geoscience Data Exchange datahelp@ucar.edu https://gdex.ucar.edu distributor 49.118 https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d744000/ https Dataset Description Related Link information https://gdex.ucar.edu/datasets/d744000/dataaccess/ https Data Access Related Link download none asNeeded
