Description
Summary:<div>SO-GasEx Met/Flux data - <b>Revision 2</b>&nbsp;&nbsp; (See MetFlux Revision 1, v.18 February 2009 for earlier data)</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>The values represent 10 minute means and include interpolated data to fill in data gaps.<br /> There is a period at the end of the cruise with no radiative flux data.<br /> The missing data are flagged with -999.<br /> <br /> In all cases, the fluxes use the convention that positive implies upwards.<br /> The fluxes and wind speeds are computed relative to fixed earth,<br /> i.e., they have not been corrected for currents.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><b>Updates in Revision 2:</b><br /> &nbsp; - Additional decimal point included for wind speeds and temperatures.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;- Radiative flux data and improved SST data for transit back to Uruguay now included.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;- CO2 fluxes are now included using the COAREG algorithm.&nbsp; The algorithm has been tuned to&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;&nbsp; best match the direct covariances fluxes measured duirng GasEx 98 and SO Gasex.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;- Also included are the delta CO2 measurement provided by NOAA/AOML and the Schmidt number <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp; and solubility provided by the COAREG algorithm.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Schmidt number is used to compute&nbsp; <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp; K660 = wCO2/delCO2*sqrt(ScCO2/660) <br /> &nbsp;<br /> - The solubility is included for those who want to convert delCO2 units to uatm. <br /> &nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;<b>Additional Parameters in Revision 2:</b></div> <div>&nbsp;- wCO2 (umol/m2/s):&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; CO2 flux computed from COAREG (umol=micromole)&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /> &nbsp;- delCO2 (mmol/m3):&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; delta CO2 with corrections applied for solubility&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /> &nbsp;- K660 (cm/hr):&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Transfer velocity for CO2 from COAREG adjusted to Sc=660&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /> &nbsp;- Solubility (mole/m^3/atm):&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Solubility of CO2 at sea surface&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /> &nbsp;- ScCO2:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Schmidt number of CO2 under ambient conditions&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /> &nbsp;</div>
