and provides a high quality Climate Data Record (CDR) of the air/ocean heat
fluxes over ice-free oceans.
This dataset is calculated from the OSB CDR parameters of near-surface
atmospheric and sea surface temperature using a neural-network
emulator of the TOGA-COARE Bulk Air-Sea Flux Algorithm.
Version V2
The Ocean Heat Fluxes dataset is part of the NOAA Ocean Surface Bundle (OSB)
and provides a high quality Climate Data Record (CDR) of the air/ocean heat
fluxes over ice-free oceans.
This dataset is calculated from the OSB CDR parameters of near-surface
atmospheric and sea surface temperature using a neural-network
emulator of the TOGA-COARE Bulk Air-Sea Flux Algorithm.
Name | Description | Gee Unit |
---|---|---|
surface_upward_latent_heat_flux | Flux of heat from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere which causes a change in phase of matter, e.g. evaporation of water at the surface and subsequent condensation of water vapor in the troposphere | W/m^2 |
surface_upward_sensible_heat_flux | Flux of heat from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere which causes a change in air temperature, primarily through conduction and convection | W/m^2 |
