Summary
Abstract: This oceans data product consists of sensible and latent heat fluxes, and wind stress components. Wind vectors resulting from a variational analysis of SSM/I wind speeds (see JPL product #044) were combined with surface temperature and moisture data from ECMWF to calculate fluxes at the ocean-atmosphere interface. The algorithm employed in the flux estimates uses the similarity theory of ... View entire text
