COGOW Climatology of Global Ocean Winds. A fantastic source of global climatic wind data based on 9 years of QuikSCAT scatterometer wind observations. This is the best source of historic winds for route planning. Period. Much better than the pilot charts. Data available every 2 weeks. See COGOW The new (2021 on) option to consider for more immediate planning is NOAA's Climatic Forecast System (CFS) that gives forecasts out to 6 months, available in Grib format.
