Kalnay, E. and Atlas, R. (1986). Global analysis of ocean surface wind and wind stress using a general circulation model and seasat scatterometer winds. Journal of Geophysical Research 91: doi: 10.1029/JC091iC02p02233. issn: 0148-0227.

We present instantaneous and 15-day time-averaged fields of surface wind, wind stress, curl of the wind stress, and wind divergence. These fields are derived from the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres four-dimensional analysis/forecast cycle, for the period September 6--20, 1978, using conventional data, satellite temperature soundings, cloud-track winds, and subjectively dealiased Seasat scatterometer winds.
