Title: TAO/TRITON, RAMA, and PIRATA Buoys, Daily, 1977-present, Wind

Summary:
This dataset has daily Wind data from the
TAO/TRITON (Pacific Ocean, https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/gtmba/ ),
RAMA (Indian Ocean, https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/gtmba/pmel-theme/indian-ocean-rama ), and
PIRATA (Atlantic Ocean, https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/gtmba/pirata/ )
arrays of moored buoys which transmit oceanographic and meteorological data to shore in real-time via the Argos satellite system.  These buoys are major components of the CLIVAR climate analysis project and the GOOS, GCOS, and GEOSS observing systems.  Daily averages are computed starting at 00:00Z and are assigned an observation 'time' of 12:00Z.  For more information, see
https://www.pmel.noaa.gov/gtmba/mission .
