Abstract: Sea surface wind stress variabilities near and off the east coast of Korea, are
examined using 7 kinds of wind datasets from measurements at 2 coastal (land) stations and
2 ocean buoys, satellite scatterometer (QuikSCAT), and global reanalyzed products
(ECMWF, NOGAPS, and NCEP/NCAR). Temporal variabilities are analyzed at 3 frequency
bands; synoptic (2~ 20 d), intra-seasonal (20~ 90 d), and seasonal (> 90 d). Synoptic and
intra-seasonal variations are predominant near and off the Donghae City due to the  ...
