Two versions (1° & 0.25°) of OAFlux products: What are the differences?

By lyu | May 4, 2021

Surface turbulent momentum fluxes, latent and sensible heat fluxes, and moisture flux (or ocean evaporation) over the global ocean cannot be directly observed from either satellite or in situ sensors. These fluxes are estimated using the following bulk flux parameterizations: τx = ρ Cd |W – Ws| (u – us) …
