Data Announcement
A new daily air-sea latent and sensible heat flux analysis for the global oceans with one-degree resolution is now complete for the period from January 1, 1981 to December 31, 2002. The product integrates satellite observations with surface moorings, ship reports, and atmospheric model reanalyzed surface meteorology, and is developed by the Objectively Analyzed Air-sea Flux (OAFlux) project at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (PIs: Dr. Lisan Yu and Dr. Robert A. Weller). The project is sponsored by the NOAA Office of Climate Observations (OCO) and Climate Change Data and Detection (CCDD). The data and the project information can be found at http://oaflux.whoi.edu.
Data in this release include also net longwave and shortwave radiations acquired from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP). This set of surface radiation data (three-hourly, 2.5-degree) is provided by Dr. William B. Rossow for distribution along with the OAFlux product. The ISCCP radiations have been daily averaged and re-gridded onto the spatial and temporal resolution used by the OAFlux product. Information about the full, global ISCCP dataset can be found at http://isccp.giss.nasa.gov/projects/flux.html
