Hi,

There are some datasets listed here:
https://github.com/OpenDrift/opendrift/blob/master/opendrift/scripts/data_sources.txt

of which a few are global:

Wind:

Currents:

https://tds.hycom.org/thredds/dodsC/GLBy0.08/latest
https://tds.hycom.org/thredds/dodsC/GLBy0.08/expt_93.0/uv3z

You can check coverage in time and space and available variables by creating and printing a reader, or commandline readerinfo <URL/file>
Note that all these forcing datasets are independent of OpenDrift, and you may find more by searching the internet or contacting relevant institutes.
