Collaborative Research
Atlantic Air-Sea fluxes from satellites, their variability and analysis
of ocean models
Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science
University of Maryland, College Park
Results from the various aspects of this
project are illustrated and made available on this web site.
Provided are satellite-based estimates of all surface heat flux
components in the Atlantic Ocean for a three year period between
45°N and 45°S; and evaluated are accuracies of total surface
momentum, energy and mass budget over the tropical and subtropical
Atlantic Ocean. The following topics will be addressed and
illustrated.
