The blended NCEP/QuikSCAT wind product constructed by Milliff and Morzel is available here. These winds were used in conjunction with NCEP reanalysis 10m winds, temperature, humidity and surface pressure, and net surface radiation to force IAS ROMS during the data assimilation period March 2005 to Oct 2006. The NCEP reanalysis products are available here. During the period Nov 2006 - present the ocean data assimilation system was run in real time. In this case a near real time QuikSCAT product and NCEP operational analyses (found here) were used to force ROMS during each assimilation period.
