Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute's (WHOI) objectively analyzed air-sea heat fluxes v3 (OAFlux v3) monthly

Brief description

The project of the Objectively Analyzed air-sea Fluxes (OAFlux) is to develop enhanced air-sea heat flux analysis products for the global oceans. The product integrates satellite observations with surface moorings, ship reports, and atmospheric model reanalyzed surface meteorology. The current on-going 50-year global heat flux analysis is sponsored by the NOAA Office of Climate Observations (OCO) through the WHOI Cooperative Institute for Climate and Ocean Research (CICOR). This dataset contains monthly averages for the following variables: sea surface temperature (SST), evaporation, latent heat, sensible heat, shortwave radiation, longwave radiation, surface air temperature, wind speed, net surface heat flux, humidity.
