Global Ocean Wind Stress, climatology and monthly, by Trenberth et al.

The ECMWF analyses for 1980-1989 were used to derive a global year-month wind stress climatology. Several climate monthly mean grids were also formed. Wind component grids are also available as are standard deviation grids for each variable computed.
