Description

The SeaFlux Data Products dataset consists of estimates of ocean surface latent and sensible heat fluxes, 2m and 10m wind speed, 2m and 10m air temperature, 2m and 10m air humidity, and skin sea surface temperature. This data product was created by using the SeaFlux V3 model. These data are available globally from January 1, 1988 through December 31, 2018 in netCDF-4 format.
