Wind-speed in the tropical western Pacific ocean between 1992-1993

Description:

East-west component of the wind speed over a region in the tropical western Pacific ocean. The data was collected on a regular grid of 17 x 17 sites with grid spacing of about 210 km. Observations were taken every six hours from November 1992 through February 1993, that is, there are 289 spatial locations and 480 time points. We thank Chris Wikle for his help in obtaining these data.

Format:

This dataset contains two files. The first, NCEP_U.dat, contains u-wind (east-west) component (in m/s). There are 480 rows and 289 columns corresponding to 480 time points and 289 spatial locations.

The second, NCEPlatlon.dat, contains the lat and long coordinates (in degrees) for the 289 locations.
