Monthly analyses of pseudo-stress created through an objective analysis of
delayed mode ship and buoy observations. These research quality pseudo-stress
products are analyzed and distributed on a 1 by 1 degree grid. Coverage is from
30N to 30S, 30E-120E. Monthly climatologies are created for the periods
1970-1976, 1970-1992, 1977-1992 from the monthly analyses.
The technique used to create these fields can be found in
Legler, D. M., I. M. Navon, and J. J. O'Brien, 1989: Objective analysis of
pseudostress over the Indian Ocean using a direct-minimization approach. Mon.
Wea. Rev., 117, 709-720.
