Abstract:

The data include the University of Washington PBL version 4.0 model output and the analyzed data produced by the model output data. The model output data include near-surface wind speed and its zonal and meridional components at 10 m above surface, surface wind stress and its zonal and meridional components, friction velocity. The analyzed data include curl of wind stress, divergence of wind stress, zonal oceanic Ekman transport of mass, meridional oceanic Ekman transport of mass, divergence of near-surface winds at 10 m above surface.
