Introduction

SEAFLUX Fourth Workshop

Follow this link for more information about the SEAFLUX Fourth Workshop, held September 27th, 2007 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.


Don't forget: Workshop 3

SEAFLUX Third Workshop to be held March 2 - 3, 2006. Follow link for more information.


Under the auspices of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Global Energy and Water Experiment (GEWEX) Radiation Panel, the SEAFLUX Project has been initiated to investigate producing a high-resolution satellite-based data set of of surface turbulent fluxes over the global oceans. The SEAFLUX project has the following elements:
  • an extensive library of in situ data sets from research ships and buoys for validation of the global flux products
  • a library of satellite data sets collocated with the in situ data sets, covering an area of approximately 200 km around each in situ point.
  • development, evaluation and production of a new high-resolution skin sea surface temperature product that resolves the diurnal cycle
  • evaluation and improvement of bulk turbulent flux models
  • evaluation and improvement of methods to determine surface air temperature and humidity from satellite
  • production and evaluation of global high-resolution satellite-derived surface turbulent fluxes
  • evaluation of the global flux products in the context of applications (e.g., forcing ocean models, partitioning of heat transport in the atmosphere and ocean)

    Further details about the SEAFLUX Project can be found in an article published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, Curry et al. (2004).

SEAFLUX Data.

NewsMost Seaflux data and files are curently available for download. Two methods are being used at the moment.

First, you can still access the files using anonymous ftp using "ftp://www.seaflux.org/".

Second, links to individual files from this section are being integrated into this website.




Seaflux Project gets a face lift.

NewsAs part of moving the core SEAFLUX project page and data sets, the SEAFLUX page has gotten a facelift.

It will take a little time to get all the old content moved over to the new system. Please bear with us.

NewsAbstracts Due for AMS Meeting

The next SEAFLUX meeting is scheduled for Feb 12-13 2003, in conjunction with the AMS annual meeting and the 12th Conference on Interactions of the Sea and Atmosphere Feb 9-13 2003 (abstracts due jul 15 2002). Also concurrent is the Symposium on Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography. Abstracts for the AMS conferences are due 29 July for Air/Sea and 19 July for Satellite. See www.ametsoc.org/AMS/. Brief abstracts for seaflux meeting will be due in Jan. 2003.

NewsStatus of Data Sets

There have been some problems with the FTP version of the SEAFLUX data set. Most of these problems have been fixed. If you encounter any problems or cannot access any of the data, please contact Randy Reeder (rreeder@cloud.colorado.edu) or Mat Rothstein (mrothste@monsoon.colorado.edu).

A lot of news to report; thanks to all of you who have provided input. Please keep sending your input.

Re: the SEAFLUX web page. I am up to date on posting data. However, I am somewhat behind in organizing some parts of the web page and getting things posted, hope to rectify this shortly. When somebody sends me a copy of a submitted paper of figures, I am sometimes unsure as to whether it is OK to post these on the web page. If you see something posted on the web page that you don't want there (or vice versa), please let me know.

Here is the latest info on the SEAFLUX intercomparison project and Workshop.

Intercomparison Data

If you haven't checked the SEAFLUX web page recently (http://paos.colorado.edu/~curryja/ocean/), there continues to be more data added to the page under Intercomparison. Also, there are new data sets on the Links page. The new satellite flux data sets on the Links page include data sets from Kubota and Jones.
