NOAA PSL Hourly Ship Flux Synthesis v1.0

Release of the hourly database containing 55 cruises spanning over 31 years, including the historical data from 12 cruises done in the 1990's (Fairall et al., 2003) and 9 cruises of the PACS/EPIC dataset. Data collected from these cruises are critical for supporting the study of physical oceanography, air-sea interaction, tropical meteorology, as well as global weather and climate variability and predictability. This includes improvement to our fundamental understanding of these processes in the ocean and their influence around the globe including the Continental United States. The data will also support improvement and validation of prediction models including parameterizations. Sensible heat flux was computed from vertical velocity - sonic temperature covariance. The humidity contribution to sonic temperature was removed using the bulk latent heat flux.
