High Resolution Estimates on Wind Stress, Heat Fluxes, and Related Quantites Over the Global Oceans

该项目的目标是利用COADS海洋报告5中的个别船舶报告，为大气-海洋系统的观测和模拟研究建立一个全球高分辨率数据库。除了风、海面温度和湿度等基本参数外，该数据集还将包括对地面风应力、潜热和感热通量以及短波和长波辐射通量的估计。将特别注意纠正与错误的Beaufort标尺有关的已知偏差，并将风速表高度调整到标准的10米参考水平。这些数据集将以两种不同的分辨率产生：1)1945-1989年全球月平均概要，10经度×10纬度分辨率，异常和气候学；2)全球周平均概要，0.50经度×0.50纬度分辨率，1965-1989年气候学。然后，这些摘要将按照莱维图斯的《世界海洋气候学地图集》(1982)中使用的基本相同的客观分析方案进行全球分析。希望进行客观分析的用户可以获得每月/每周的原始统计数据。所有产品将不受限制地向国家和国际科学和业务界广泛提供。该项目将提供更好和更有价值的数据产品，供科学界用于观测研究大气-海洋系统以及海洋环流模式的强迫，用于热带和/或温带地区年际至年代际时间尺度的海-气相互作用研究，并提供比目前更准确的表层海洋气候学。

The objective of this project is to use individual ship reports from the COADS Compressed Marine Reports 5 to produce a global, high resolution data base for observational and modeling studies of the atmosphere-ocean system. In addition to basic quantities such as wind, sea surface temperature and humidity, this data set will include estimates of surface wind stress, latent and sensible heat fluxes, and short and long wave radiation fluxes. Particular attention will be paid to correct known biases associated with erroneous Beaufort scale and adjustment of the anemometer height to a standard 10 m reference level. The data sets will be produced in two different resolutions: 1) Global monthly mean summaries with 10 longitude by 10 latitude resolution, anomalies and climatology from 1945 to 1989; and 2) Global weekly mean summaries with 0.50 longitude by 0.50 latitude resolution, climatology form 1965 to 1989. These summaries will then be globally analyzed by essentially the same objective analysis scheme used in Levitus' Climatological Atlas of the World Oceans (1982). Raw monthly/weekly statistics will be made available to those users desiring to perform their own objective analysis. All products will be made widely available to the national and international scientific and operational communities with no restrictions. This project will provide better and more valuable data products for the use of the scientific community for observational studies of atmosphere-ocean system as well as forcing of the oceanic general circulation models, for air-sea interaction studies from interannual to decadal time scales, both in the tropics and/or extratropics and provide a more accurate surface marine climatology than presently exists.
