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).
