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压缩海洋报告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。除了诸如风、海面温度和湿度等基本量外，该数据集还将包括对地面风应力、潜热通量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波弗特尺度有关的已知偏差，并将风速计高度调整为标准的10米参考水平。数据集将以两种不同的分辨率生成：1)1945 - 1989年10经纬度分辨率、异常和气候的全球月平均摘要；(2) 1965 ~ 1989年经度0.50、纬度0.50分辨率的全球周平均摘要。然后，这些摘要将在全球范围内进行分析，基本上采用Levitus的《世界海洋气候地图集》（1982）中使用的客观分析方案。原始的每月/每周统计数据将提供给那些希望进行自己客观分析的用户。所有产品将不加限制地广泛提供给国内和国际科学界和企业界。该项目将提供更好和更有价值的数据产品，供科学界用于大气-海洋系统的观测研究以及海洋环流模式的强迫，用于热带和/或温带从年际到年代际时间尺度的海气相互作用研究，并提供比目前更精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.
