Example Scripts
SCOW fields are available in a NetCDF file format. All files were created and tested using Matlab 5.3.1.29215a (R11.1) and the NetCDF Toolbox For Matlab-5 Version of 30-Apr-2003 11:16:19.

read_and_plot_scow_fields.m: This script demonstates how the SCOW zonal wind stress file (
wind_stress_zonal_monthly_maps.nc)
can be read and monthly fields plotted. The output from this script
should look as follows,
January Zonal Wind Stress Plot.
calc_seasonal_cycle_from_scow_coeff.m: This script demonstates how the SCOW zonal wind stress regression coefficients file
(
wind_stress_zonal_coefficients.nc) can be read and used to calculate a 12 point (monthly) and a 365 point (daily) seasonal cycle for each grid cell.
