Sea surface wind stress was calculated for 4 NOAA buoys located
near Georges Bank, 1975 1997, GLOBEC Program.
Anemometer records from four NOAA weather buoys (1975-2003) and
the Nantucket Light ship (1975-1981) were used to calculate sea-surface
wind stress for the Georges Bank region. Sea-surface wind stress was
calculated by the neutral stability method of Large and Pond, J. Phys.
Ocean, 11 (1981) 324. A detailed discussion of the data collected by the
four weather buoys can be found in Manning and Strout, 2001, Deep-Sea
Research II, 48:115-123. Buoy number, position and date of observations
at that position: Buoy ID 44003 LAT/LON OPER. PERIOD 40.8 N./68.5 W.
03/77-03/84 Buoy ID 44005 LAT/LON OPER. PERIOD 42.7 N./68.3 W.
