Welcome to OAFlux
The OAFlux project aims to provide high-quality climate data records of air-sea heat, freshwater, and momentum fluxes for use in studies of the global energy budget, water cycle, atmosphere and ocean circulation, climate change and variability. We utilize the state-of-art approaches including machine learning tools to derive insights from satellite and in situ observations in developing the best strategy for air-sea flux estimation.
