Air-Sea Bulk Flux Data | |||
DATA DOWNLOADS This flux data page was created as a branch from the primary TAO/EPIC homepage, and is designed to facilitate open access to air-sea flux and cloud forcing data computed and used in the publications below (see acknowledgements). Flux and cloud forcing data may be downloaded as single .zip files sorted by resolution by clicking the links below (~1-20 MB per file). Unzip and navigate to files of interest.
* Note: Cloud forcing data are not yet available, but will be posted in the future. Flux data are organized by resolution and site, with file naming conventions described below. Latitudes and longitudes are given in lowercase strings (e.g. 10n95w), and resolutions include hourly, daily, and monthly, abbreviated as hr, dy, and mn(d), respectively.
File Naming Convention:

README A README file describing the flux datasets presented in this section can be found at the link below. This file is a combination of readme files from the 2006 dataset, along with additional information: README
* No modifications were made to the data served from this webpage, except
to change the variable dtwrm to dTsea, and to alter the variable's name and comment attributes
accordingly.
