CORE.2 Global Air-Sea Flux Dataset

Entry ID: NCAR_DS260.2

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This dataset contains the complete set of global air-sea heat and water flux components computed from version 2 of CORE (Common Ocean Reference Experiment) atmospheric state fields starting from 1949. The air-sea fluxes are derived from bulk formulae applied to atmospheric state fields from multiple sources together with a merged ...
